Lemon Poppy seed Zucchini Bread

by admin
Lemon Poppy seed Zucchini Bread

I confess, I buy too much fresh produce. I have the best of intentions for using my extra squash, cucumbers, or pears. However, invariably the fruit and veggies I buy sometimes go to waste. Such was the case for my zucchini. I had purchased about 3 zucchinis with the intent of making zoodles, zucchini noodles you eat with pasta sauce. Yet, as time passed, so to did my motivation to make the zoodles, and although the zucchini hadn’t gone bad…it was definitely in that past its prime grey zone. I decided that I wasn’t going to let these little zucchinis go to waste. They were destined for greatness.

This is where my zucchini bread idea comes in. I had been craving lemon flavored cakes, breads and cookies. I had a thought I bet Lemon Zucchini bread would be amazing, and that is where this journey began. After a bit of trial and error I modified a recipe that I found on all recipes. It turned out sweet like cake which to be honest … I liked. But the moisture, level was so amazing. Furthermore, by using lemon extract, zest and juice, the lemon flavor was prominent. Tart, bright and scrumptious! Overall it was a huge hit with everyone in the family.

This bread comes together in one bowl and is very easy to make. It uses 3 zucchinis so your kids will be getting a dose of greens with each and every slice. It makes two loaves which if you like you could freeze one while you eat the other. Or if you want a cool trick, slice the zucchini bread and freeze it. Then when you need it you could toast just one or two pieces at a time. As it pops up from the toaster it tastes like perfectly fresh baked bread and is amazing.

Give it a try it is easy delicious and will last a while especially if you freeze it. I doesn’t require yeast of any kind and is so. dang. good. Try it! It will become your families new favorite!
