Very Lemony, Lemon Zucchini Bread

Oh, Glitterinas,
have I got a good recipe for you!

It's Lemon Zucchini bread.

Before I continue, I want to ask for your
prayers for all the people and animals that have been
affected by Hurricane Harvey.
Please consider donating to the Red Cross if you can.

Thanks, Glitterinas!

This recipe was inspired by one of those 
recipes you see on Facebook.

They almost always look so yummy....and sometimes
they taste yummy, too!

The most difficult part of this recipe is 
grating the zucchini.

The rest of it is just measuring and 
mixing.....then being 
patient enough to let the cute, little loaves cool.

Are you ready to start this 
yummy zucchini recipe?

I'll  begin by mixing the dry ingredients
in a bowl and setting it aside.



When I measure baking powder and 
baking soda
I put it in my hand and run the measuring spoon through 
it a few times to get 
rid of any lumps.



Whisk, whisk, whisk.....


.....next I measure out and stir the 
wet ingredients together.

The only ingredient not in this picture is the 
finely chopped lemon slices.



Add the wet and dry ingredients together.....

mix only until all the ingredients are incorporated 
well together.


The lemon zucchini bread batter is ready 
for the oven.

This recipe will make one regular loaf 
or 
eight to nine small individual loaves.

This time I made small loaves.

Spray the pan with non-stick baking spray and 
spoon the batter into each section.

Into a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes....done!

This bread cooks 30 minutes for mini loaves and 
55-60 minutes for a regular loaf.


Now, when these little loaves are done....


......they cool in the pan for 15 minutes.

Then they finish cooling on a rack.


Yum, yum.......goodness, does my kitchen 
smell delicious!

Now, Glitterinas, we just have to 
wait for these cute, little loaves to cool 
so they can get their drizzle of glaze!

Husband and I are ready to have 
some lemon zucchini goodness.


Drizzle on some glaze....
made of powdered sugar and lemon juice.....

.....bottled lemon juice is fine
but I used several very thin slices of this 
lemon for the finely chopped lemon....

....so why not finish up this lemon?


......stir until all the lumps are out.


Oooooh, drizzle on plenty of that 
sweet glaze!




Oh my.....this is good....


Would you like to try some,
Glitterinas?



Which one would you like?



Husband decided he needed another taste!

I am looking forward to having one of 
these little yummies with 
my hot tea at breakfast!

I hope you'll give this simple zucchini 
recipe a try......you'll like it, Glitterinas!
