Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, moisture squeezed out)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, if preferred)
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (for extra crunch)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Gently fold in the grated zucchini and blueberries (and nuts, if using). Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure to squeeze out the moisture from the grated zucchini for the best texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
- This bread can be frozen; just wrap it well in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil.
