2 large eggs These bind the ingredients together and add richness.
1 cup granulated sugar Sweetens the bread and helps achieve a beautiful golden crust.
½ cup canola oil (or vegetable oil) Keeps the bread moist and tender; melted coconut oil can be used for a twist.
½ cup buttermilk Adds a lovely tang and helps create a tender crumb.
2 tablespoons lemon juice Infuses the bread with a refreshing lemony flavor.
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest Brings out the bright citrus notes.
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour The foundation of the bread.
1 teaspoon baking powder Ensures your bread rises perfectly.
½ teaspoon fine salt Balances the sweetness.
1 cup shredded zucchini (medium-sized, not peeled) Adds moisture and nutrients.

Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃) and prepare your baking vessels by spraying with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs on medium-high speed for about 30 seconds until frothy.
Add sugar and oil to beaten eggs, and beat until pale and fluffy.
Mix in buttermilk, lemon zest, and lemon juice until just combined.
Gently fold dry mixture into wet ingredients along with shredded zucchini until no streaks of flour remain.
Evenly divide batter among prepared pans and smooth the tops.
Bake mini loaves for 30-34 minutes or a large loaf for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow bread to cool in pans for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Whisk together confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice until smooth for the glaze.
Drizzle glaze over cooled loaves, slice, and serve.

Wrap cooled loaves tightly for storage. Perfect for freezing and savoring later.
