LEMON ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and coat two 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" bread pans with baking spray.
• In a large bowl, cream together oil, Greek yogurt, lemon juice and sugar. Once combined, add in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt. Add in lemon zest, and stir together.
• Add dry ingredients into wet ingredients, and mix just until combined.
• Add in zucchini and vanilla extract, and stir.
• Once combined, divide batter evenly between the two bread pans.
• Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
• Allow to cool at least 10-20 minutes before removing from the pan and placing on a cooling rack.

LEMON ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 8 x 4 inch loaf pan. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
• In another bowl, combine sugar and lemon zest and stir well.
• Add eggs, oil, and lemon juice and stir until smooth. Stir in the dry ingredients until combined.
• Fold the zucchini into the batter and pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Allow to rest in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the loaf onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
• While the bread is cooling, make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
• Drizzle the glaze over the bread. Slice and serve.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI WITH YUMMY LEMON SALT

Steps:

• Lop off the tops and bottoms of the zucchini and quarter them lengthwise. Place in a very large resealable plastic bag (or two regular-size bags). Drizzle in the olive oil, then add 1 teaspoon salt,1 teaspoon pepper, 1 tablespoon lemon zest and the lemon juice. Seal the bag and smoosh everything around a bit so that the zucchini is coated. Set aside for 15 to 20 minutes to marinate.
• Preheat a grill to medium. Grill the zucchini, turning, until nice and tender, being careful not to burn it, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the zucchini to a plate as it gets done.
• Pile up the rest of the lemon zest on a cutting board and sprinkle 1 tablespoon salt on top. Use a knife to chop the salt and zest together until it becomes lemon salt. Add more salt if it needs it. Sprinkle the lemon salt over the grilled zucchini.

ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease two 5-by-9-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
• In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Mix the sugar, oil and beaten eggs in a separate bowl and add to the flour mixture. Stir in the grated zucchini, coconut, nuts and cherries.
• Pour the batter into the loaf pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool for 10 minutes before removing the loaves from the pans. Turn the breads out onto wire racks to cool completely.

LEMON ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
• In a bowl, beat together the zucchini, sugar, egg, and oil. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder; stir in the cinnamon and lemon zest. Stir the flour mixture into the zucchini mixture just until blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from heat, and cool about 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

LEMON BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes. Spread out on a baking sheet to dry out for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Grease a 9-inch-by-13-inch baking dish with butter.
• Whisk together the half-and-half, eggs and lemon zest and juice. Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves. Put the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish. Pour the liquid over the bread. Let the bread soak up the liquid while you preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Bake until the crust is golden brown, 50 to 55 minutes. Let rest for at least 15 minutes.
• Serve warm with Bourbon Whipped Cream.
• Combine the heavy cream, sugar and bourbon in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer and begin mixing immediately on high speed until stiff, about 4 minutes.

ZUCCHINI BREAD WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat the waffle iron to the regular setting.
• For the waffles: Toss together the zucchini and carrots in a bowl. Mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a separate bowl, then toss with the zucchini and carrots to coat them.
• In a separate pitcher, mix the buttermilk, melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla and eggs. Pour the buttermilk mixture over the zucchini mixture, stirring gently.
• For the syrup: Mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, maple syrup and vanilla in a bowl. Add enough milk to thin it to a syrup texture. Set aside. (If your syrup is lumpy, you can strain it for a smoother finish.)
• Spray the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray and scoop in the batter. Cook until golden, about 5 minutes depending on your waffle iron. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Serve the waffles drizzled with the cream cheese syrup.

ZUCCHINI CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, pecans, coconut, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and ginger. In another bowl, whisk together the oil, milk, vanilla and eggs and stir in the grated zucchini. Fold this into the dry ingredients. The batter will be stiff and dry but keep folding it and it will all come together. If it still seems too dry, just add a little more milk.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs and the cake is pulling away from the sides of the pan, about 20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla just until smooth. Add the milk if necessary.
• Spread the frosting over the top of the cooled cake. Garnish with chopped pecans.
