This moist lemon zucchini bread is a real treat — just 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon zest add fresh, bright flavor to everybody’s favorite summer treat!

Ingredients

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

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
3 Beat shredded zucchini, sugar, oil, and egg together in a mixing bowl.
4 Sift flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder into a separate bowl, then stir in cinnamon and lemon zest. Stir flour mixture into zucchini mixture just until blended.
5 Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool for about 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
7 Enjoy!
