Ingredients

Scale

For the Bread:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup cooking oil
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla essence
  • 2 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 3 cups regular flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries

For the Lemon Glaze:

  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Oven and PansStart by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease your choice of 2 large loaf pans or 4 mini loaf pans. Alternatively, you can use a combination, such as 1 large loaf pan and 3 mini pans, as needed.
  2. Step 2: Mix the Wet IngredientsIn a large mixing bowl, beat together 3 large eggs, 1 cup of vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, and 2 ¼ cups of granulated sugar until well combined. This will serve as your wet base for the bread.
  3. Step 3: Incorporate Zucchini and Dry IngredientsFold in 2 cups of shredded zucchini to the wet mixture. Then, beat in 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of baking soda until just combined. Take care not to overmix the batter.
  4. Step 4: Add Blueberries and Prepare to BakeGently fold in 1 pint of fresh blueberries into the batter. Pour the mixture evenly into your prepared loaf pans. Once filled, place them in the preheated oven.
  5. Step 5: Bake and Cool the BreadBake the loaves for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pans for about 20 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle with Lemon GlazeIn a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of heavy whipping cream until smooth. Once the bread is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. Let the glaze set before serving.

Notes

  • You can add a sprinkle of lemon zest on top of the glaze for extra flavor.
  • This bread freezes well, so consider making a double batch to have some on hand for later.
