Why This Lemon Zucchini Loaf Works

This Lemon Zucchini Bread recipe is more like a cake with the sweet lemon glaze. It can be served as dessert, you can enjoy a slice for breakfast, brunch, or a midday afternoon snack. Plus, it goes nicely with a mug of hot tea or cup of coffee.

Making this lemon loaf and other baked goods, like Double Chocolate Zucchini Brownies, and Zucchini Cake is just what you need to make when you need to use extra summer zucchini.

Ingredients

• Flour: I used all-purpose flour.
• Pudding: Instant lemon pudding mix
• Baking powder and baking soda: Use fresh leavening agents for best results
• Sugar: Adds extra sweetness.
• Large eggs: a binding agent to help hold the bread together
• Lemon: fresh lemon juice and fresh lemon zest
• Shredded zucchini: It’s easiest to use a box grater to grate your garden zucchini
• Loaf wet ingredients: milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract
• Powdered sugar: used with some more lemon juice to make the lemon icing

How To Make Lemon Zucchini Bread

• Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the all purpose flour, lemon pudding mix, baking powder, soda, and salt. 
• Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine sugar, eggs, milk, oil, lemon juice, and vanilla extract together using a whisk.
• Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Do not overmix. 
• Step 4: Use a box grater to grate the zucchini. 

• Step 5: Use a wooden spoon to fold in the lemon zest and grated zucchini. 
• Step 6: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving extra paper on the sides to act as handles once the bread has baked. Pour bread batter into the lined baking pan.
• Step 7: Bake the lemon zucchini cake and let it cool before removing from the baking pan to finish cooling on a wire rack.
• Step 8: In a small bowl, make the simple lemon glaze by mixing the lemon juice with the powdered sugar. Drizzle the icing on the cooled loaf, serve, and enjoy.

Recipe Tips

• No box shredder? Not a problem. Just use a food processor instead.
• There’s no need to remove the skin from the zucchini before shredding. 
• Leftover bread should be stored at room temperature in an airtight container. Freeze individual pieces by flash freezing them, then wrapping with plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing them in a freezer safe container.
• Fresh lemon juice and lemon zest are a necessity to make the perfect loaf. Don’t use bottled lemon juice it doesn’t even compare to fresh lemon flavor.
