Lemon Zucchini Bread with Lemon Glaze

Bread Ingredients

1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons lemon zest


Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
In a bowl, beat together the zucchini, sugar, egg, and oil, and vanilla In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder; stir in the cinnamon and lemon zest. Stir the flour mixture into the zucchini mixture just until blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from heat, and cool about 10 minutes.

Glaze
1/4 cup lemon juice (my lemon wasn't very juicy so I used a little less)
1/2 cup sugar

While bread is cooling, heat lemon juice and sugar together on stove top until boiling to melt the sugar. Remove bread from pan and move onto a plate. Pour glaze on top.



This was soooo good! I will definitely be making it again. You can, of course make it without the glaze to make it better for you. You can also use shredded carrots instead of zucchini.
