ZUCCHINI LEMON POPPYSEED BREAD



Zucchini Lemon Poppyseed Bread image

I wanted to try something a little different when I found several containers of poppy seeds while organizing my spice cabinet. Since it was summertime and zucchini was coming in droves, this is what I came up with. I based this off of recipe #17123, but made enough changes thought it was worth adding my own version. This would probably be delicious with a lemon glaze as well. Enjoy!!

Tips:

  • Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. This will help prevent the bread from becoming too watery.
  • Be sure to squeeze out the excess moisture from the grated zucchini before adding it to the batter.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough bread.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
