Lemon Zucchini Bread

Hey everyone! How about one more zucchini recipe, this one's a little different because it calls for lemon, I've had it forever and it's my favorite! You can make two loaves or muffins. My neighbor grew yellow zucchini this year so I used that but the colors are really beautiful when you use green zukes:@)

Lemon Zucchini Bread
3 eggs
2 C sugar
3/4 C oil
2 C zucchini, grated
2 1/2 C A/P flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla
1-2 lemons, just the zest
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans or put paper liners in cupcake pan.
  3. Mix everything except zucchini. Fold in the zucchini.
  4. Bake 45-50 minutes for bread, approx 22-25 minutes for muffins.
Notes:
  • You can definitely cut back on the sugar (actually I suggest it).
  • I estimated 1/3 of the recipe and ended up with 7 big muffins.
  • It's your call on how much lemon zest you'd like to use, I've made it with one and it's extra lemony with with two. 
Have a happy day:@)
