Lemon-Zucchini Bread

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup Canola oil
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
1 cup zucchini, grated (peel & all)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, blend up the eggs. Add in the oil & sugar; blend again! Then add in the buttermilk (blah...I can't stand the smell of it), lemon juice and zest (I just used bought lemon juice 'cause I'm lazy). Stir it all together, then fold in the grated zucchini (I finely grated it because I'm not a huge vegetable person and don't want to bite into some delicious bread and taste veggies). Once the wet ingredients are blended, stir into the flour mixture. Pour into a loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes (until an inserted toothpick comes out clean....my girls' favorite part).

This came with a lemon glaze also (1 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice) that you pour over the loaf when it's done. I found it to be too sweet (B though it was too bitter...weird). I think the next time I'll make it without the glaze. The bread itself wasn't overly sweet and had a nice flavor to it. For sure a treat to make another time...and kind of healthy too.
