Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your loaf pans by greasing them lightly with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of fine salt until evenly combined.
- Beat 2 eggs in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer until pale and frothy. Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar and ⅓ cup of oil, mixing until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate ½ cup of buttermilk, zest of 1 lemon, and ¼ cup of fresh lemon juice into the egg mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Gently fold in 1 cup of grated and squeezed zucchini.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling them about two-thirds full and smoothing the tops.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes for a large loaf or 30-34 minutes for mini loaves, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- After baking, allow the bread to cool in the pans for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the bread cools, mix together 1 cup of confectioners' sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice until smooth to create a glaze.
- Once the bread is cool, drizzle the glaze over the tops and serve sliced to enjoy the bright flavors.

Notes
Squeeze excess water from zucchini, fold gently when combining wet and dry ingredients, and test for doneness with a toothpick.
