I baked this loaf late one evening, sleepily mixing the glaze while the loaf was cooling. A little later, yawning while I drenched the loaf with the lemon glaze, I was hoping, after this late night baking session, that this creation of mine would taste good when I tried it the next day.
In the morning, when I took a bite of it, the words “a moist, lemony delight” floated through my mind (they really did!), and that seems to be the best way to describe this Lemon-Zucchini Loaf! It has a nice lemon flavor and the zucchini gives it a rich, moist texture. The glaze enhances the lemon flavor too, so be sure to add the glaze!
This loaf is fairly healthy compared to other treats…it’s made with unbleached flour, canola oil, lemon juice and zest, zucchini, and buttermilk. It’s perfect for serving at a spring or summer breakfast or brunch!
Lemon-Zucchini Loaf with Lemon Glaze
LEMON-ZUCCHINI LOAF WITH LEMON GLAZE by NancyC
Makes one 9×5″ loaf 
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- Juice of 1 lemon (or 2 Tablespoons lemon juice)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 cup grated zucchini (you don’t need to peel the zucchini before grating it)
Preheat oven to 35o degrees. Grease and flour a 9×5″ loaf pan; set aside.
In large bowl, blend flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In medium bowl, beat 2 eggs well, then add canola oil and sugar, and blend well. Then add the buttermilk, lemon juice, and lemon zest and blend everything well. Fold in zucchini and stir until evenly distributed in mixture.
Add this mixture to the dry ingredients in the large bowl and blend everything together, but don’t overmix.
Pour batter into prepared 9×5″ loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (if your oven tends to run hot, check the loaf after 40 minutes; also, if you make this in an 8×4″ loaf pan, your baking time may be a little longer…about 5 to 10 minutes more). Cool in pan 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack and cool completely. While loaf is cooling, you can make the glaze…
LEMON GLAZE
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon (or 2 Tablespoons lemon juice)
In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and lemon juice until well blended. Spoon glaze over cooled loaf. Let glaze set, then serve.

Hi Stacy, I guess the vinegar and milk mixture is often used as a buttermilk substitute because the vinegar gives the milk that sour, tart taste. I’ve also read that you can use lemon juice in place of vinegar in the milk (use same amount as you would of vinegar).

LikeLike
I think you could substitute whole wheat flour, Audrey–your loaf would have a more wheaty taste, which is what you may be wanting. You could also try 1 cup of whole wheat with 1 cup of unbleached or white whole wheat flour, too, for a lighter wheat taste. I’ve never substituted yellow squash for zucchini before in a recipe like this, so not sure how that would be, but I think it’s definitely worth a try! Let me know how it turns out for you!

I pull out about 2-3 cups of zucchini (once shredded) a day out of my garden. I made these Friday, in muffin form.. I just shortened baking time to 25 minutes. I made a double batch, had a few friends over, and they disappeared. I wasn’t quite sure of the measurement for “rind of 1 lemon” we had some tiny lemons, so when I doubled the recipe, I just used about a tablespoon. I also have to adjust for my altitude, as I am in the mountains. They were heavenly!! We are going on a big family camp out this weekend, so I am making more muffins, and these were moved straight to the top of the list of what kinds I need to take…..
I just found this site, and I am now eyeing your Maple oatmeal muffins also.

LikeLike
Hi Sarah, it works best if the zucchini is shredded in this recipe, but if you could shred your chopped or sliced zucchini–maybe with a food processor?–that could work. Not sure if you will need to let it thaw out a little before you try that.
LikeLike
Just make sure that you drain the zucchini after it thaws. I grate it and freeze it to use in the winter. I usually put more than the recipe calls for in the ziplock bag when I freeze them because you loose some of the volume when you freeze it and thaw it. Make sense?
LikeLike
I just made this tonight after coming across it a bunch of times on pinterest. I doubled the recipe because of an over abundance of zucchini and an under abundance of recipe ideas to use it all up with 🙂
I substituted a 6oz container of vanilla chobani yogurt for the cup of oil. I read somewhere that 3/4c greek yogurt is a suitable substitution for 1c cannola oil. I’m assuming I should have used plain, but I figured the vanilla flavor would make up for some of the sugar that I omitted?? haha (the doubled recipe called for 1 1/3 c sugar, and I only had 1c on hand.)
I also substituted almond milk/white vinegar for the buttermilk.
I used white flour…but would prefer wheat flour next time I think.
The bread came out dense and spongy. I’m not a baker, but I think I can attribute the sponginess to the substitutions, and also because I had to pause in the middle of the mixing process to wait for the hubs to bring home a few of the ingredients.
Even still, it is absoultely delicious….and I like it better than the traditional dark zucchini bread everyone always makes.
Oh…and the lemon glaze is so delicious. I added the full amount of juice from one lemon and it’s lemony and perfect!
Thanks! 🙂

I realize it would change the flavor, but is that the only difference?

I’m sure you could do that, Miranda. It probably will affect the taste some. A lot of other people have told me they’ve substituted plain yogurt for the buttermilk and have been happy with the results. If you have any cream of tartar powder, you could add just under a teaspoon of that to your 1/2 cup of milk, too. Let me know how you like it if you just use regular milk!

Pinned this on Pinterest a long time ago because I’m a lemon lover & zuccini fanatic! Two of my favs in one dessert! Lol! I finally made these for an Italian themed dinner at our Couples Bible Study last fall…they were a HUGE hit! I actually used a mini loaf pan (like a muffin pan), since me & regular sized loaf pans have a love/hate relationship, & they came out so cute!! I’m more of a savory cook & don’t really succeed at baking, so I rarely try dessert recipies. Not only was this a fairly easy recipe, but you were right…little, moist, lemony delights! The only “change” made besides doing mini loaves…I used a little lemon zest in the glaze too, to make it a little more lemony, of course! 😉 Thanks for the keeper!
