Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and ground nutmeg.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well-combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the grated zucchini and any optional nuts.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon for the streusel topping, then cut in the cold butter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
