Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups (480 ml) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml) vegetable oil
- 2 cups (480 ml) grated zucchini (about 2 medium)
- 2 tsp (10 ml). vanilla extract
- zest of 1 large lemon
- 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (5 ml). salt
- 1/4 tsp (1 ml). baking soda
- 1 cup (140 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
- zest and juice of 1 large lemon
- 2 tbsp (30 ml). melted butter
- 3 cups (360 g) powdered sugar (more as needed)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, oil, grated zucchini, vanilla, and lemon zest by whisking them together.
- In a separate bowl of similar size, mix the flour, salt, and baking soda with a whisk.
- Combine the liquid mixture with the dry mixture, stirring gently until just blended. Avoid overmixing.
- Carefully incorporate the blueberries into the batter.
- Evenly distribute the batter into two 9×5-inch loaf pans that have been thoroughly greased.
- Place in an oven preheated to 350 degrees and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. It’s helpful to swap the pans’ positions halfway through baking.
- Transfer the pans to a wire cooling rack for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen. Remove the loaves from the pans to cool completely on the rack. Avoid cooling entirely in the pans to prevent sticking.
- For the glaze, use a medium bowl to whisk all the glaze components together. Adjust with more powdered sugar if necessary to get a thick consistency that won’t drip off the bread.
- Drizzle the glaze over the loaves, then slice and serve.
Notes
- Consider enhancing the lemon flavor by incorporating a splash of lemon juice into the batter along with the zest.
- Gently fold in the blueberries to maintain their integrity and prevent the batter from turning purple.
- Gradually add powdered sugar to the glaze until you achieve your desired consistency.
