Ingredients

Localized ingredient list prepared for quick scanning.

• 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest

Method

Follow the steps in order for the best result.

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Ensure even baking by properly preparing your loaf pan; grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan thoroughly.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, white sugar, egg, and vegetable oil. Beat these ingredients together until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, create the dry mixture. Sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. This ensures a light and airy texture. Once sifted, stir in the ground cinnamon and lemon zest, distributing them evenly throughout the flour mixture.
4. Gently incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet zucchini mixture. Stir until just blended, being careful not to overmix. Overmixing can result in a tough bread.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes. To test for doneness, insert a knife into the center of the bread. If the knife comes out clean, the bread is ready.
7. Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents the bread from becoming soggy.
8. Once fully cooled, slice and enjoy your homemade Lemon Zucchini Bread!
