- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- For the glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well and set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread.
Notes
- For added moisture, consider wrapping the cooled bread in plastic wrap and letting it sit overnight before serving.
- You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
- For a fun twist, add ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for added crunch.
