- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 3 mini-loaf pans or 1 large loaf pan.
- Beat zucchini, agave nectar, egg, coconut oil, applesauce, lemon juice, and lemon zest together with an electric mixer in a bowl until smooth. Whisk flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together in a bowl; mix into zucchini mixture until batter is just combined. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pans.
