Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

- 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini
For the Lemon Glaze:

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.
