Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Select medium-sized zucchini for the best flavor and texture. Overgrown zucchini can be bitter and watery.
  • Grate the zucchini: Use a box grater or a food processor fitted with the grating blade to grate the zucchini. This will help release its moisture and make it easier to incorporate into the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh lemon zest and juice: Fresh lemon zest and juice add a bright, citrusy flavor to the bread. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as it can have a harsh flavor.
  • Don't overbake the bread: Overbaking the bread can make it dry and crumbly. Check the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.

Ellen's Lemon Zucchini Bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert.
