Instructions
Making Moist Blueberry Zucchini Bread with a Lemon Glaze can be straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
3. Combine Sugars and Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and combined.
4. Add Zucchini: Gently fold in the grated zucchini to the wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Add Blueberries and Lemon Zest: Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest, taking care to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
7. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven. Allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Prepare the Lemon Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. If desired, add lemon zest for extra flavor.
11. Glaze the Bread: Once the bread has completely cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top, allowing it to set for a few minutes.
