Bread:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or half white whole wheat flour)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 ½ tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (unpeeled)

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prepare – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients – In another bowl, combine sugar and lemon zest, stirring well. Add eggs, oil, and lemon juice, stirring until smooth.
  • Combine – Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in grated zucchini.
  • Bake – Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool – Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare Glaze – In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread.
  • Serve & Enjoy – Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Zucchini Prep – If the zucchini is very moist, gently squeeze out excess liquid using a paper towel.
  • Freezing – Allow the bread to cool completely, wrap it in plastic wrap, and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or briefly in the microwave on defrost.
