Honey Lemon Zucchini Bread
You will love this honey lemon zucchini bread recipe—it’s so fresh and bright!
I’ve been staring at two giant zucchini in my fridge for a couple weeks now.
One came from our garden here on the homestead, and the other came from my co-worker who had no use for it.
Obviously when fraught with what to do with this giant zucchini she thought, “Liza will take it.”
Because, obviously. I’m like Mikey with the Life cereal when it comes to garden bounty.
I spent fifteen minutes shredding those two suckers, and ended up with a little over six cups of zucchini bits.
Two cups got frozen in zip top bags and the rest was used for zucchini bread.
We love zucchini bread over here.
It’s one of my daughter’s favorites for lunch, two slices slathered with cream cheese and eaten like a sandwich.
My son happens to like his plain OR warmed up with a little butter. (YUM!)
I could eat zucchini bread any way it’s served, any time (although I do have a soft spot for a warm buttered slice).
Today I tried a new variation on my regular ol’ zucchini bread recipe: the addition of honey and lemon.
It has a sweet brightness that’s both unique and mouthwatering.
Of the four loaves, I gave one to my parents (Hey … my mom did grow one of those zucchini, so I feel like I owe them.
Plus, food’s always more fun when you can share!), saved one in the fridge for this week, and froze two to use over the coming weeks.
Can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow! Mmm….

That is so adorable that your daughter eats zucchini bread like ‘real’ bread in a sandwich. I have an overabundance of zucchini right now (who doesn’t??) and this looks like just the thing. Bookmarking it to try just as soon as the weather cools down enough to allow me to turn the oven on! 🙂

It definitely helps break the mundane with school lunches! 🙂

Looks delicious, Think we could switch out like half of that white flour for whole wheat?

Yep! You could probably use all whole wheat flour and still have it turn out good, although you might need to add a little extra liquid in that case – more lemon juice, a little water, etc., since whole wheat flour tends to produce a thicker batter anyway.
