Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
Grate zucchini by hand on the coarsest grater blade, then squeeze out excess moisture using paper towels.
In a large bowl, whisk together bread flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk sugar and lemon zest for about 1 minute to infuse flavors.
Add oil to the sugar and lemon zest mixture and whisk to combine.
Whisk in eggs and egg yolks until fully combined.
Add lemon juice and vanilla extract, whisk to combine.
Fold in the grated zucchini gently until evenly distributed.
Add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined; do not overmix.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool bread in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
For glaze, whisk confectioners' sugar with lemon juice until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more juice or sugar as needed.
Once bread is fully cooled, drizzle glaze over top and garnish with reserved lemon zest.
Store leftover bread airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate up to 5-7 days. Freezes well when wrapped tightly.
Notes
This lemon zucchini bread is perfect for any time of day and stays moist for days thanks to the zucchini. Adjust glaze thickness to your liking.
