- Sift dry ingredients together and add to zucchini mixture.
- Gently fold in blueberries & walnuts.
- Pour into 2 greased & floured 8x4-inch bread pans, or one bundt pan. Bake for 1 1/4 hours or until golden brown & toothpick inserted comes out cleanly. (Baking time is listed for bread pans).
- Let cool for about 15 minutes, then invert onto wire rack to cool completely.
- To make glaze: Once cake/bread has cooled, melt butter over low heat, then stir in lemon zest and powdered sugar. Stir in lemon juice, 1 tbsp at a time, until smooth and a good consistency. Drizzle over cake/bread and sprinkle with freshly grated lemon zest.
- Note: Because of the amount of moisture in this recipe, you may need to bake it longer than you might think. If you are unsure if it is done or not, add a few more minutes - it's almost impossible to over-bake this!

I made this for some Christmas snacking this year, and was really surprised how delicious these two flavors are together! I used all real eggs, since I had lots of those and no egg substitute, and added a touch more flour. It made enough for 2 small loaves and some muffins. I will definitely save this recipe and use it next year when we have an abundance of both ingredients.
