Blueberry Zucchini Bread with Lemon Glaze

It's that time of year again. My zucchini plants are producing squash like rabbits produce bunnies.

This morning, I searched the Internet hoping to find a recipe for zucchini bread made with brown sugar, but came across this recipe and decided to try it instead. After all, my husband loves lemon and I happened to pick up some blueberries at Costco just yesterday.

I adapted the recipe a bit. Here is my version:

Blueberry Zucchini Bread with Lemon Glaze

2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup shredded zucchini
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup melted butter
2 tsp. lemon zest
1 egg
3/4 cup blueberries

Glaze:

1/2 cup powdered sugar
juice from 1/2 lemon
1 tsp milk

Remove and cool completely...

For glaze:

Whisk powdered sugar, milk and juice from 1/2 lemon, Drizzle over bread...
