Ingredients
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamo
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini and sugar. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
- Add the eggs, vegetable oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the zucchini mixture and mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and any optional spices.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mix and stir gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve as desired.
Notes
Use fresh zucchini. Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini before adding to batter. Room temperature ingredients blend better. Ovens vary; check baking time accordingly. This bread freezes well.
