Zucchini Bread with Lemon Glaze!

I love listening to the chatter between my husband and son when they are in the garage together. Most recently they were sorting through fishing lures, preparing them for someone to come look at and potentially buy. Let’s just say it was time for my husband to thin out his collection!

When the buyer showed up, he wanted to know if they had any older ones. My son showed him what he had, which weren’t originally in the listing. He ended up buying $45 worth! My son was elated! I was so happy for him, what a pleasant surprise!

You won’t have to fish for compliments when you make this Glazed Lemon Zucchini Bread – it’s the perfect recipe! Packed with bright lemon flavor, incredibly moist thanks to grated zucchini, and topped with a sweet-tart lemon glaze, this easy quick bread is ideal for breakfast, brunch, dessert, or an afternoon snack!

Why this Recipe Works:

• Zucchini Keeps the Bread Incredibly Moist – Grated zucchini adds natural moisture, creating a soft, tender loaf that stays fresh for days.
• Bright Lemon Flavor Shines Through – Fresh lemon zest and lemon juice work together to deliver vibrant citrus flavor in every bite.
• Simple Pantry Ingredients – This recipe uses basic baking staples, making it easy to whip up whenever you have zucchini on hand.
• Oil Creates a Tender Crumb – Using oil instead of butter helps produces a moist, soft texture that doesn’t dry out quickly.

Ingredients You’ll Need for the Bread:

• 1 1/2 cups Flour – Provides the structure and base for the loaf.
• 1/2 tsp Salt – Enhances the overall flavor and balances the sweetness.
• 1/2 tsp Baking Soda – Helps the bread rise and creates a tender texture.
• 1/2 tsp Baking Powder – Adds additional lift for a light, soft crumb.
• 3/4 cup Sugar – Sweetens the bread and helps keep it moist.
• Zest from 1 Large Lemon – Adds fresh, bright citrus flavor throughout the loaf.
• 2 Eggs – Binds the ingredients together and contributes to the breads structure.
• 1/2 cup Oil – Keeps the bread moist and tender.
• 1 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice – Boosts the lemon flavor and compliments the fresh zest.
• 1 cup Zucchini (Grated) – Adds moisture, softness, and a subtle vegetable sweetness.

And the Icing:

• 1 cup Powdered Sugar – Creates a smooth, sweet glaze.
• 4 tsp Lemon Juice – Thins the icing while adding a tangy, refreshing lemon flavor.
