Today, we’re diving into the world of Easy Lemon Zucchini Bread – a refreshing and moist treat that perfectly balances the zesty tang of lemon with the subtle sweetness of zucchini. Let’s get started!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini

For the Lemon Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 23 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the oil, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed in the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread.

Notes

  • Ensure the zucchini is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy.
