  • Author: Emma Carter
  • Total Time: 45 minute

Ingredients

– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– Zest of 1 large lemon
– 1 cup grated zucchini (well-drained)
– ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)


Instructions

Creating Luscious Lemon Zucchini Bread is straightforward when you follow these well-organized steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Mix Sugar and Oil: In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and vegetable oil. Mix well until slightly combined.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir until everything is well-blended.
5. Incorporate Zucchini: Gently fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined—be cautious not to overmix.
7. Add Nuts (if desired): If you chose to include nuts, fold them into the batter now.
8. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
9. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Following these simple steps will assist you in successfully baking a delightful loaf of Luscious Lemon Zucchini Bread for everyone to enjoy.
