  • Author: Emma Carter
  • Total Time: 1 minute

Ingredients

– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– ½ cup granulated sugar
– ½ cup packed brown sugar
– ½ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
– 2 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– Zest of 1 large lemon
– 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
– 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
– ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)


Instructions

Creating Luscious Lemon Zucchini Bread can be a simple process if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
3. Combine Sugars and Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined. Then add the eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice, mixing until smooth.
4. Incorporate Zucchini: Gently fold in the grated zucchini into the wet mixture, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
5. Combine Dry and Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a denser texture.
6. Add Nuts: If you’re using nuts, fold them in at this stage for added texture and flavor.
7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Follow these steps carefully, and you’ll have a delightful loaf of Luscious Lemon Zucchini Bread to enjoy!
