Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups (220 g) finely grated zucchini, after measuring, squeeze liquid out
  • 1 large lemon
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups (210 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease one 9x5 loaf pan (or line with parchment paper) and set aside.
  • Measure 1.5 cups (220 grams) of grated zucchini, then place into a few layers of paper towels, or a kitchen towel, and gently squeeze over the sink to remove excess liquid.
  • Zest and juice one lemon into a large bowl. Add finely grated zucchini (with liquid squeezed out), granulated sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until evenly combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Add blueberries and stir until incorporated.
  • Pour into prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 48 to 55 minutes, OR until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean/with dry crumbs, or bread reaches 200 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit in the center (baking times will vary based on your oven and type of pan used).
  • Allow bread to cool completely on the counter before removing from pan and slicing.

Recommended Equipment

Notes

  • Leftover zucchini bread will keep in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for 3 to 4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. If your bread is very moist/wet, I recommend refrigerating. 
  • Zucchini bread can be frozen for up to 6 months. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap/foil and store in a freezer safe bag or container. Thaw on the counter top for 1 to 3 hours.
