Ingredients

For the Batter

1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon fine salt
2 large eggs
1 cups granulated sugar
0.33 cups canola oil or vegetable oil
0.33 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 zest lemon

2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃) and prepare the loaf pans by spraying them with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs until light, then add sugar and oil, mixing until fluffy.
Mix in buttermilk, lemon zest, and lemon juice until just combined.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture along with the zucchini.
Divide the batter among the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
Bake mini loaves for 30-34 minutes or a large loaf for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the loaves cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Whisk together confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice for the glaze.
Drizzle glaze over cooled loaves before serving.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the batter for the best texture. Use fresh zucchini for optimal flavor and moisture.
