  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the sugar and eggs until creamy, then mix in the vegetable oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  4. Stir in the shredded zucchini and yogurt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, and stir until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  9. Optional: Drizzle a lemon glaze over the cooled loaf for added flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the zucchini is well-drained to prevent a soggy loaf.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for vibrant citrus flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep a tender crumb texture.
