This moist and flavorful Lemon Blueberry Zucchini Bread combines fresh zucchini, tangy lemon, and sweet blueberries, making it the perfect treat for breakfast or a midday snack. A healthier twist on classic zucchini bread, it’s made with wholesome ingredients and offers a burst of citrus flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, moisture squeezed out)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, if preferred)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (for extra crunch)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the grated zucchini and blueberries (and nuts, if using). Be careful not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent them from bleeding into the bread.
  • For a bit of extra sweetness, drizzle with a lemon glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice after baking.
  • If you want a denser bread, you can reduce the amount of oil or swap some flour for whole wheat flour.
