Categories     Snack

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/2 cup buttermilk
zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
1 cup shredded zucchini
1 cup powdered sugar
juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 4 mini loaf pans (6"x3 1/2") well with cooking spray. You can also use a 9x5 loaf pan.
  • In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir with a whisk to break up any clumps. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl with a hand blender, or a bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs for 30 seconds. Add the sugar and oil and beat together until well combined. About 1 minute until it looks "fluffy" and pale in color.
  • Add buttermilk, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Blend together until mixed in.
  • Add the shredded zucchini and the bowl of dry ingredients into the wet mixture, and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined and no flour pockets remain.
  • Evenly divide the batter between the 4 mini loaf pans (or 9x5). Cook the mini loaf pans for 30-34 minutes and the 9x5 loaf pan for 40-45 minutes. The bread will look done and when gently pressed with a finger will spring back, a toothpick inserted in the middle will also come out clean.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes in the loaf pan and then remove the bread to a cooling rack to cool complete.

Best Lemon Zucchini Bread Recipe-Butter Your Biscuit image

This Lemon Zucchini Bread Recipe is so moist and delicious. This is a quick snack or grab and go breakfast that your family is sure to love!

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 3/4 cups of flour
3/4 cups sugar
1 (3.5) instant lemon pudding box
3/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup shredded zucchini
zest of one lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees spray 1 8x4 loaf pan with nonstick spray
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, pudding mix, baking soda and powder and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, milk, oil, lemon juice and extract.
  • Stir into the dry ingredients until just moistened.
  • Fold in the zucchini, lemon zest
  • Pour batter into loaf pan.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan to cool completely.
  • In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and lemon juice until well blended. Drizzle icing over cooled loaf. If you have icing left over just store in a container in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Use small to medium zucchini that are tender and have a mild flavor. Avoid large or overgrown zucchini, as they can be tough and watery.
  • Grate the zucchini: Grate the zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. This will help to release the zucchini's moisture and make it easier to incorporate into the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh lemon zest: Fresh lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the bread. Use a microplane zester to grate the zest from the lemons.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan: A 9x5-inch loaf pan is the ideal size for this bread. Grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will usually take around 60-70 minutes. Depending on your oven and your pan size, it may take more or less time, so be sure to keep an eye on it to avoid overbaking.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help to prevent the bread from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Lemon zucchini bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With its moist texture, tangy lemon flavor, and sweet zucchini, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some zucchini on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
