Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup white whole-wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 medium zucchini, shredded (about 2 cups)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  2. Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, lemon zest, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and baking powder in a large bowl. Whisk sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla in a medium bowl. Stir in the zucchini. Add the zucchini mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until just incorporated. Transfer to the prepared pan.
  3. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
