  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 20 slices

Ingredients

Scale

For the Bread:

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 2 ¼ cups granulated sugar

  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 pint fresh blueberries (about 2 cups)

For the Lemon Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pans
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two large loaf pans or four mini loaf pans. Line with parchment paper for easier removal.

  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar until smooth.

  3. Add Zucchini and Dry Ingredients
    Stir in the grated zucchini. Add flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing.

  4. Fold in Blueberries
    Toss blueberries in 1 tablespoon of flour, then gently fold them into the batter.

  5. Bake the Bread
    Pour batter evenly into prepared pans. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. Cool Completely
    Allow bread to cool in pans for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack until fully cooled.

  7. Make the Lemon Glaze
    In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, and heavy cream until smooth.

  8. Glaze and Serve
    Drizzle glaze over the cooled bread. Let it set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use small to medium zucchinis for best texture. No need to peel.

  • Don’t thaw frozen blueberries if using; fold them in frozen to prevent color bleeding.

  • Wrap tightly in plastic wrap for freshness; bread stays moist for 3 days at room temperature.
