When it comes to foods, I really like bread. There is just so many different things you can do to bread to give it different tastes and texture. I have been wanting to make zucchini bread lately but wanted to give it a little twist.
Yesterday I made Lemon Zucchini Bread. What I didn’t tell my family about the bread was there was zucchini in it. They would automatically stick up their noses. My kids enjoyed the bread, my husband really enjoyed it and two of our friends also said it was really good. There were no leftovers….
I only told our friends about the zucchini that was inside, not the hubby or kids. 🙂
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup low fat buttermilk
- 2 tbs lemon juice
- zest from 1 lemon
- 1 cup finely grated zucchini
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tbs lemon juice (for glaze)
- 1 tbs milk (for glaze)
- In a large bowl add the flour, baking powder and salt. Use a whisk to blend ingredients and set aside.
- In a medium bowl add the eggs, coconut oil and sugar. Mix well. Next add the buttermilk, lemon juice, lemon zest. Fold in the grated zucchini until it is evenly distributed in mixture.
- Add wet mixture to dry mixture and stir until you see no dry ingredients. Pour batter into non-stick 9×5 loaf pan. Cook at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and place on wire wrack to cool. While bread is cooling, you can make glaze. Add powdered sugar, milk and lemon juice in small bowl. Spoon glaze over cooled loaf and let glaze set.
- Cut and enjoy!
To make this bread a little more healthy, you can always leave out the glaze…
This is just one of my creative ways to get my kids to eat their veggies.
that looks so good!! nice winter morning breakfast. we have frozen shredded zucchini left from summer
If you have zucchini you need to use, I would definitely make some of this bread. My kids love it and still do not know that it had zucchini in it. I am making another batch.
This looks so amazing! I love breads like this and can’t wait to try it myself. I pinned it so now I can try it when ever I have time. Thank you for sharing.
This sounds GREAT! Love lemon in bread recipes… and paired with zucchini… even better.

This looks so good! I love zucchini bread, it’s the only time I can get my family to eat zucchini! =P

Oh, this looks yummy! I love that you use coconut oil and I bet this would be a BIG hit in our home! Thanks – I’ll definitely have to add this to our menu.
Any bread with a glaze on it is ok in my book LOL. This really does sound awesome and I am certain I could down a whole loaf in one sitting!

I’m not a huge lemon fan but I love zucchini bread. This may be something to try out when I’m feeling adventurous.
That lemon glaze looks divine!! Thanks for the recipe.
I love homemade quick breads and they are definitely a good way to ‘hide’ healthy ingredients. I like to add stuff like flax seeds and chia seeds too. Hi in fiber and nutrients and they wont even notice them!
I love lemon breads and have not made them since last year. I need to concoct a gluten free version!
The glaze if my favorites part. I have a recipe that’s similar and you’re right, you can’t tell it’s in there!
