Lemon Zucchini Bread with Lemon Glaze
I made this easy lemon zucchini bread with lemon glaze recipe I found on Like Mother Like Daughter. This lemon zucchini bread with lemon glaze is super moist, lemony, and delicious–we all LOVED it. I served slices of this bread for dessert last night with some fresh blackberries on the side and it was wonderful.
Lemon Zucchini Bread with Lemon Glaze
Lemon Zucchini Bread:
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs beaten
- ½ cup coconut oil, melted
- ⅔ cup sugar
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 cup zucchini, grated
Lemon Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4-5 tsp fresh lemon juice
- Zest from 1 lemon
- 1 to 2 tsp of milk, as needed to thin the glaze
How to Make Lemon Zucchini Bread with Lemon Glaze
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a loaf pan with coconut oil spray.
Make the zucchini bread by whisking the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Whisk the beaten eggs with the sugar and melted coconut oil until well combined. Add the buttermilk, lemon zest, and lemon juice then whisk very well. Add the zucchini and mix until evenly combined.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the egg mixture until just combined. Pour into the loaf pan and gently tap the loaf pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Place into the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and placing on a cooling rack until cool completely.
Make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, lemon, juice, lemon zest, and milk until smooth, creamy, and at the desired consistency.
Place some wax paper under the wire rack with the zucchini bread on it.
Drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of the loaf until evenly coated. Let the glaze set then slice and serve. Enjoy!

It looks really nice…the colour and the flavour are just awesome!
My husband would wish to be at your house right now for some of that fabulous looking lemon bread. His favorite.
this is a very unique zucchini bread! i love the light color and texture–it seems quite different from the zucchini breads i’ve made and it looks delicious. 🙂
I’ve been trying to bake quickbreads more and more lately to keep on hand for easy snacking…I think this is being added to my “to-make” list next!
I made this with yellow squash, and you can’t tell it’s in there. It is so amazingly good that I made two double batches after the first loaf, and put them in the freezer!
Looking forward to trying this recipe. A couple things: 1) what size loaf pan did you use? 8×4 or 9×5? and 2) a suggestion: put the wax paper under the loaf (rather than under the wire rack) when you’re ready to glaze the loaf, and you won’t have to clean the dried glaze off of the wire rack. I’ve learned from experience. 🙂
Jennifer,
I used an 8×4. Thanks for the wax paper tip! I’ll definitely do that next time.
This was absolutely AMAZING! I made 4 loaves and added blue berries!
I work in a Hair Salon, she the girls keep being me for more!
Thank you!
I made this last night because I was in a baking mood. It was delicious! So lemony and rich-tasting. I probably would swap out some applesauce for about half of the oil next time (I felt a little guilty) but I must say it was yummy! The zucchini adds great moisture and a little texture, but you don’t get a heavy zucchini flavor. Definitely a keeper! In my husband’s words….”YUM!”
