Zucchini Bread w/ lemon glaze ~ MAKE MUFFINS and FREEZE EM!!!!!!





Whats better than a this for a healthy treat in your kiddo's lunch box?
I LOVE this recipe...either as a bread, or muffins...you will want to LICK the glaze off the muffin wrapper(not kidding), my kids were scraping the glaze off the counter tops...BOTH the plain and the chocolate zucchini recipes are from my lovely Baking queen neighbor Katy Swan!
We do 6 dozen of these, share them with friends and family and freeze the rest!
This recipe and the one below, are GREAT for those shredded and stores bags of zucchini we all have hiding in our freezer!

3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 lemon zested

Sift dry ingredients.
Beat eggs until light and fluffy cream oil sugar and eggs. Add zucchini.
Mix in dry ingredients . MIX WELL.
