- 4 cups zucchini shredded
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup butter melted
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3? cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease two 8" x 4" pans, or 6 mini loaf pans.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, sugar, eggs, melted butter, and lemon juice and mix well.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and allspice and whisk together.
Combine the flour mixture with the zucchini mixture and stir together with a rubber spatula, mixing just until combined.
Divide the batter evenly between your prepared bread pans, then sprinkle a little extra sugar on the top of each loaf.
Bake in a preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees F.
Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for 20 minutes, then gently run a knife around the edges of the bread and tease the bread out of the pan. Enjoy!
Storing instructions: in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature, in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Mini loaves will bake at 350 degrees for about 35-40 minutes.
