- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon (ground)
- 2 cups white sugar
- 3/4 cups vegetable oil (or canola oil)

Steps to Make It
For the Zucchini Bread
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly grease 4 mini-loaf pans with dairy-free soy margarine or oil. Set aside. (To make 2 (9 x 5-inch) loaves: Preheat the oven to 325 F and lightly grease the pans.)
-
Combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and ground cinnamon in a large mixing bowl, until well mixed. Set aside.
-
Whisk together the sugar, oil, soy milk, and vanilla extract in another mixing bowl for a minute or two or until the mixture is syrupy and comes together. (It will still separate slightly.)
-
Add the wet ingredients to the dry, along with half of the grated zucchini.
-
Mix until well combined, then fold in the remaining grated zucchini.
-
Portion the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling the pans about 3/4 of the way full.
-
Sprinkle the optional crumble topping, if using, evenly over the surface of the batter.
-
Bake the loaves. For the mini loaves: bake at 350 F for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until the loaves are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf emerges clean. For 9 x 5-inch loaves: bake at 325 F for 70 to 80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves emerges clean.
-
Allow loaves (whatever size) to cool completely on a wire cooling rack before removing from the pans.
-
Slice and serve.
Optional Crumble Topping
-
Combine the sugar, flour, oats, and cinnamon in a small bowl until well mixed.
-
Cut in the dairy-free soy margarine using fingers or a pastry cutter, until the mixture resembles large crumbs. Use to top vegan zucchini loaves before baking.
