Ingredients
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (60g) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (100g) zucchini, grated (about 1 small zucchini)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup (120ml) water
- Non-stick cooking spray
- ½ cup (50g) powdered sugar
- Lemon juice
Preparation
- Coat the inside of the Anyday dish with cooking spray. Cut out a piece of parchment paper and fit into the bottom of the bowl.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt and mix well. Add grated zucchini, vanilla, butter, and water and mix until all ingredients are combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared Anyday dish. Cook in the microwave uncovered for 8-9 minutes or until the bread is bouncy to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Allow loaf to rest in the Anyday dish for 1 minute. Run a knife around the edges of the dish to loosen. Place a flat plate on the bowl and carefully flip the vessel to unmold the bread. Discard parchment paper.
- For the glaze, mix powdered sugar and enough lemon juice to achieve a desired consistency.
- Drizzle bread with glaze and serve. Bread will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
