Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (washed and dried)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or use gluten-free flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for a hint of warmth)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (adds depth of flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (freshly grated)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, for extra zing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Use a box grater to grate the zucchini. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Stir until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Fold gently until just combined—don’t overmix.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini and blueberries. Be gentle to avoid crushing the berries.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread.

Notes

[‘Squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini to prevent soggy bread.’, ‘Dust blueberries lightly with flour before folding them into the batter to prevent sinking.’, ‘Adjust glaze consistency by adding water or lemon juice if too thick.’, ‘Sprinkle sugar on top of the batter for a golden crust.’, ‘Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter.’]
