A moist and tender zucchini bread bursting with fresh lemon zest and juicy blueberries, made easy with a one-bowl method. Perfect for a snack, breakfast, or light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil (can substitute melted coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini), squeezed to remove excess moisture
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries (tossed in a little flour to prevent sinking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate zucchini using a box grater and squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the squeezed zucchini and floured blueberries carefully.
  6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool bread in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough bread. Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini to prevent sogginess. Toss blueberries in flour before folding to prevent sinking. Let bread cool completely before slicing for clean cuts. Frozen blueberries can be used if tossed in flour first. For gluten-free, substitute flour with a gluten-free blend and monitor texture.
