Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Fold in the zucchini until well coated

Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and fold together until everything is well blended, but don't over-mix

Pour the batter into your loaf pan, pat down the pan with a couple of soft thumps to your counter top to evenly distribute the batter

Place in your oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then remove to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling

For the Glaze:

In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and half and half.

Adding only 1 to 2 TBS of lemon juice and/or half and half at a time to get the right consistency that you like.

Mix together with a fork until all the sugar is thoroughly mixed and glaze is thin enough to spread

Add half and half and/or lemon juice as needed for more to thin

Drizzle over cooled loaf
Let set, then slice and serve
