Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp fine salt
2 large eggs
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup canola oil or vegetable oil
1/2 cup buttermilk
Grated zest from 1 lemon
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup shredded zucchini

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your loaf pan by greasing it lightly or lining with parchment paper.
In one bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then mix in sugar, oil, buttermilk, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the shredded zucchini using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow cooling for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
