Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • For the Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar
  • For the Glaze: 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Add the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Fold in the grated, dried zucchini until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the bread cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice, a few drops at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
  9. Drizzle the tangy lemon glaze over the cooled bread before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Squeeze excess moisture from the grated zucchini using paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth for the best texture.
  • For an extra bright flavor, use fresh lemon juice only.
  • You can add 1/2 cup of blueberries to the batter along with the zucchini if desired.
