Ingredients

Scale

For the Bread:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely shredded zucchini (excess moisture squeezed out)

For the Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together sugar, eggs, oil, yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Add zucchini: Stir in the grated zucchini.
  5. Combine ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and glaze: Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cooled bread before slicing and serving.
