1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 cups grated zucchini (squeezed dry)
For the glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, whisk the sugar, oil or melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest until combined.

Gently fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once cooled, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the bread before slicing and serving.
