Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a standard loaf pan to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Ensure the spices are evenly distributed. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate, large bowl, beat the egg and sugar together until light and slightly frothy. Whisk in the milk, vegetable oil, and lemon juice until well combined. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a fork or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Fold in the lemon zest and squeezed zucchini until evenly distributed throughout the batter. The batter will be thick. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top of the bread starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil. (60-70 minutes)

07

Step

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a lemon glaze after the bread has cooled. Simply whisk together powdered sugar with a little lemon juice until you reach your desired consistency.
Squeezing the moisture out of the zucchini is crucial to prevent a soggy bread. Wrap the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly.
This bread freezes beautifully. Slice it before freezing for easy access to individual portions.
