1 ½ cups granulated sugar
2 cups grated zucchini (squeezed dry)
½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In one bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, mix sugar, oil or butter, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in grated zucchini gently.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar with lemon juice or milk until smooth; drizzle over cooled bread.
