Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients: sugar, oil or melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in the grated zucchini, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and lemon juice or milk until smooth.
  10. Once the bread is cooled, drizzle the glaze generously over the top.
