My oldest one has been asking me to make coffee cake for a while now as he loves the crumble topping in the coffee cake. Since this week is all about bread, I wanted to bake a quick bread for the category and that is when I thought why not make the Zucchini Bread with Walnut Crumble Topping? I was initially thinking of making zucchini walnut bread, but then just the brown sugar crumble sounded boring, so I thought I would skip the walnut in the bread and use it for the crumble topping. That is by far the best thing I have put in bread. The bread was super soft and the walnut crumble topping gave the bread the much-needed texture. I used Greek yogurt in the bread and that compensated for the eggs. This is one of the breads that disappeared within a day, showing that everyone in the house just loved it.

Add oil and then blend again.
Add the grated zucchini and the vanilla extract and mix.
Sift the flour and the rest of the dry ingredients directly over the wet ingredients and gently mix to combine.
Pour the prepared batter into the greased and floured loaf pan.
To make the crumble topping –
Add the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and walnuts in a bowl. Chop the butter into tiny pieces and then using your hand mix everything together.
Add this crumble topping evenly over the batter and bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes and then cool it completely on a wire rack.
