Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare your baking pans by greasing two large loaf pans or six mini loaf pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant lemon pudding mix, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and fresh lemon juice until smooth, then pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated.
  4. Fold in shredded zucchini, poppy seeds, and lemon zest gently to avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pans and bake larger loaves for 50-55 minutes and mini loaves for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow to cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
