Well not too long ago a friend of my moms gave her two massive zucchinis that he had grown, and we were not quite sure what to do with them. The first one we managed to use just by using in out sauteed veggies, but we wanted to get a little creative. After a little searching an a lot of pinterest we came up with the idea of a zucchini bread with a lemon glaze. This thing went fast! It is great for breakfast or a late nigh snack. I hope you try it an like it as well.
What You Need:
The Bread
1 1/2 cup shredded zucchini (I just used a cheese grater with the raw zucchini)
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 eggs
2 medium lemons
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup sugar
The Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1 lemon
What You Do:
The Bread
1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl
3. In a small bowl combine eggs and sugar, beat until combined
4. Add vegetable oil, buttermilk, the juice and zest of one lemon to the egg mixture and mix well.
5 Add the wet mixture to the dry and mix together and then fold in zucchini.
6. Pour in to an 8x4 loaf pan and bake 45 to 50 minutes or until a knife can be inserted in the middle and come out clean.
7. After bread cools pour on glaze.
The Glaze
1. Combine juice of the lemon and powdered sugar and stir.
All that is left is to enjoy!
Or it can be.
Baking has always been something I have been passionate about. I also enjoy cooking. No, I am not a professional chef or baker, as you will probably see in my dishes; they aren't always the prettiest of things. I do love cooking though, and because of my family I tend to cook low calorie dishes, but I warn you, some do go out there in the calorie zone. I will post yummy recipes I make along with pictures here. I warn you I do like spicy food, so sometimes they will be a little spicy, but I will let you sometimes choose how spicy the meal is. Anywho enjoy.
