I feel like I always start my posts off with “I have a confession…” But I do! Here it is. Even though I love zucchini and call it my favorite veggie, I’d never had actual zucchini bread (in quick bread form) before just a few months ago when I baked this recipe! I know, right? I feel like such a zucchini fraud! So I have no childhood memories of zucchini bread to tell you about, only “20-year-old” memories!

Funny connection, but I’m pretty sure I baked this bread the morning I came home from that farmer’s market trip when I picked up the patty pan squash for this recipe! Maybe I should have made patty pan bread? No, instead, I used the massive homegrown zucchini my mom had brought home from a coworker. I wanted to put that zucchini to good use in something special, so zucchini bread it was!

Now, I wanted to make a classic zucchini bread so I could get the full first experience. But, you know me, I had to play it up just a bit to give it that BAM, but still keep it simple. Two glorious and comforting things came to mind. Maple and a simple crumble topping! Who doesn’t like crumble? A little maple syrup and some gluten-free oats, the perfect way to play it up without taking over the zucchini show!

This also gives you that little intersection between summer and fall! Summer = zucchini and Fall = maple! Although for me, zucchini is year-round. I buy around 5 every week and no, they’ve never gone to waste! The one way that I’m not “that” big a fan of with zucchini is zoodles. I’d rather not. I’d rather spiralized beets or potatoes! But hey, to each his own 😉 And be prepared when you have this bread baking in the oven. The warming smell of maple will have you just wanting to cuddle up with this bread! It is so comforting! I could barely wait to take this bad boy out of the oven. Yes, you can say I am now a proud fan of zucchini bread!

    Love zucchini bread, it was a staple in our home growing up, my mom would make 15 loaves at a time and then freeze them so we could have it for breakfast or snack. YUM! But since going gluten free I haven’t had any! Now with your creative recipe I can enjoy it again, and add the BAM! Thanks!

    Rebecca, let me get this straight- you NEVER had zucchini bread before now??? Moment of silence for the lost years of yumminess.
    “Want to cuddle the bread”? How did you know that’s what I do with all my warm loaves?? SHH!! Don’t tell everybody!

    Hmmm I’ve had zucchini cake, I’m not sure I’ve had bread either. And pairing it with maple and crumble, well, that’s just awesome sauce. I’ll definitely be trying this!

    I think it is so cute that you have food confessions like this at only 20 Rebecca! I didn’t grow up in a culinary household at all, and we never ate out, so I still experience “firsts” many, many years later. At 20, oh my, there were SO many things I had never tried! I’m pretty sure I had never had zucchini bread, but now love it and think your version looks good and insanely moist!

      Haha, well thank you Alisa! Now that I’ve found my cooking passion I’m just making up for the lost years of my childhood, but guess I’m still way ahead of the game!

    Ahhh! There are bakers that come by once a week(ish?) at RWJ and they have free samples of their carrot bread, pumpkin bread, banana bread, and zucchini bread! So much goodness! 😀 I need to try making this, because those samples made me realize how much I apparently adore carrot bread and zucchini bread! 😛 I love the crumble you added on top!

    What a cool recipe! In my opinion, you are NO zucchini fraud! 😉 There are so many recipes just waiting to be tried, tested and finally released. Better for us to wait til you’ve got this beauty instead of seeing this loaf too soon. 😉 I love that you sprinkled the tops with delicious maple oat crumble. I would def want extra of that!

    HI Rebecca,
    Another great zucchini bread recipe. Zucchini makes baked goods so moist and using the buckwheat flour sound like a tasty choice. Pinned & Tweeted!

    There can never be enough zucchini bread recipes! Such a great way to use certified gluten-free purity protocol oats–the ones that keep us all safe. I have two zucchini bread recipes myself and have plans for more. 😉 Love this version with the maple oat crumble, Rebecca. Nobody can resist a crumble topping!

    I have a confession to make. I normally bake loads with zucchini every summer as we always have a glut, but this year not one single one of our plants made it past the slugs, so I’ve not baked a single cake yet! Your bread sounds really interesting with the maple topping and who doesn’t like maple?

    Not a zucchini bread virgin at all! In fact, its the first thing my kids ask for when they see this veggie in my fridge. I’ll have to try it with your crumble next time to change it up a bit.

    My mom is from the South and she made zucchini bread at least once a month. I actually have a recipe scheduled to post soon, but it doesn’t have this gorgeous and delicious crumble on top. I LOVE this!

      Oooo I want to see it!! Zucchini bread is like banana bread! We all have those classic family recipes!

    I’ve never had zucchini bread either! This looks and sounds amazing – I’ll definitely have to give it a whirl.

    I’m guessing it could easily be made savoury instead too, right? I’m thinking cheesy and paprika-y. What do you think?
