Snickerdoodle Zucchini Bread

An entire loaf of snickerdoodle goodness!

I didn’t appreciate snickerdoodle cookies until I was an adult, but now that I know how delicious they are, I can’t get enough! Normally, I’m a chocolate chip kind of girl all the way, but there’s something about the cinnamon sugary taste of snickerdoodles that gets me every time. Plus, they melt in your mouth and are so smooth and buttery, if they’re done right. Needless to say, I was very excited to try out this snickerdoodle zucchini bread.

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

6. Fill half of each loaf pan with the batter and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the topping in each pan
7. Divide the remaining batter between the two pans and sprinkle the rest of the sugar mixture over the tops of each loaf.
