How to Make Lemon Zucchini Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 4 x 8-inch loaf pans.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon zest, and 1/4 cup lemon juice.
  4. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in 2 cups grated zucchini and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
