Lemon Basil Zucchini Bread

Editor's Choice
This is truly everything I could have dreamed of in a loaf of zucchini bread. It is gently sweet, with a brightness from the lemon that is perfectly balanced by the herbal notes of the basil sugar.

Author's Notes

Store basil sugar in a covered container in the refrigerator until ready to use (will keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks).

The loaf will keep in an airtight container for several days. You can also wrap in foil & store frozen for up to 3 months - thaw in the fridge overnight or in a warm oven for 20 minutes.

Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
Bring some water to boil in a saucepan and prepare an ice bath in a small bowl.
Step 2
Blanch the Fresh Basil (1/4 cup) leaves by placing the leaves in the boiling water for 10 seconds, then plunge them into the ice bath until the leaves are cool.
Step 3
Remove the leaves from the ice bath and thoroughly, but gently, dry the leaves (I gently squeeze them & then spread them out & press them between 2 paper towels to dry them as much as possible.
Step 4
Process the Granulated Sugar (1/2 cup) , basil, and zest of the Lemon (1) in a food processor until the basil is fully incorporated into the sugar, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Set aside.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat an 8x4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter, set aside.
Step 6
In a large bowl, add the Granulated Sugar (1/3 cup) , 1/3 cup of the basil sugar, zest and juice of the Lemon (1) , Ground Flaxseed (2 Tbsp) mixed with 5 Tbsp Water, Olive Oil (1/3 cup) , Yogurt (1/3 cup) , and Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) . Whisk until well combined.
Step 7
Add the Zucchini (1 1/2 cups) to the wet ingredients and stir until zucchini is incorporated.
Step 8
In a separate bowl, sift together the All-Purpose Flour (1 3/4 cups) , Baking Powder (1 Tbsp) , and Baking Soda (1 tsp) . Add in Salt (1/2 tsp) and whisk to combine.
Step 9
Incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three additions, gently folding with a spatula to combine.
Step 10
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. The finished loaf will have a golden-brown crust.
Step 11
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Best eaten the next day (if you can handle waiting). Serve alone at room temperature in slices, or top each slice with a dollop of Crème Fraîche (to taste) and Basil Sugar.
