BEST LEMON ZUCCHINI BREAD
This lemon zucchini bread has wowed every person my Mom made it for, and she has now passed this tried-and-true recipe to me, with the same results. If you are tempted to skip the nutmeg, don't! It's the secret ingredient that makes this bread pop. This loaf won't last a day in your house, so it's best to double or triple the recipe to ensure everyone gets a slice! The loaf freezes well, just slice before freezing.

ZUCCHINI LEMON POPPYSEED BREAD
I wanted to try something a little different when I found several containers of poppy seeds while organizing my spice cabinet. Since it was summertime and zucchini was coming in droves, this is what I came up with. I based this off of recipe #17123, but made enough changes thought it was worth adding my own version. This would probably be delicious with a lemon glaze as well. Enjoy!!

ELLEN'S LEMON ZUCCHINI BREAD
This is THE BEST lemon zucchini bread I've ever baked or tasted. The recipe came from a friend of my mom's. She kept raving about this bread that she had made while she was visiting. After I made it the first time I can understand why. If I don't put this in the freezer right away, it is gone!!! Butter is really good on this bread if you aren't worried about the calories, fat, etc.

Tips:
- To ensure the zucchini bread has a moist texture, it's important to use fresh zucchini that is grated finely. This will help release the zucchini's natural moisture into the batter. - To achieve a light and fluffy loaf, make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and creamy. This will incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a tender crumb. - To enhance the lemon flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest in the batter. This will give the bread a bright and citrusy taste. - If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - To prevent the bread from becoming too dry, avoid overmixing the batter. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined. - For a golden brown crust, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter before baking. - To check if the bread is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready.Conclusion:
This lemon zucchini bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. The combination of lemon and zucchini creates a moist and flavorful loaf that is perfect for any occasion. With its bright citrus flavor and tender crumb, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a tasty and easy-to-make treat, give this lemon zucchini bread a try. You won't be disappointed.
