Glazed Lemon Zucchini Bread


This recipe is from the Lil Luna (all things good) blog.  Of course I had no buttermilk or canola oil so I used veg oil and I made my own Buttermilk by adding 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice to my milk and left it sit for about 15 minutes.  This is a fresh, sweet, citrusy spin on zucchini bread!
