Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 ½ cups (about 150g) grated zucchini, squeezed lightly
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using the fine side of a box grater. Squeeze gently in a clean kitchen towel to remove some moisture but keep it moist.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the oil and sugar until well blended. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
  5. Fold the grated zucchini gently into the wet mixture. Then fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Finally, fold in the blueberries carefully to avoid breaking them.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 50 minutes.
  8. Cool the bread in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense bread. Use fresh lemon zest for best flavor. Toss frozen blueberries in flour before adding to prevent sinking. Tent with foil if bread browns too quickly.
