Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Zest of 2 medium lemons (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, packed)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. Grate zucchini using a box grater. Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Set aside.
  4. In another bowl, beat eggs with sugar until creamy. Slowly whisk in vegetable oil, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  5. Fold the squeezed zucchini into the wet mixture. Gently fold in blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top gently.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 50 minutes.
  9. Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out using parchment overhang and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini to avoid soggy bread. Fold blueberries gently to prevent bursting. Tent with foil if bread browns too quickly. Let bread cool fully before slicing for best texture.
