I had a package of zucchini in my freezer from Grandma Erickson, so Monday I decided to make some bread. I found a recipe on the Internet that used the amount I had.
I should have quit when I was almost 1/4 cup short of oil (I melted some butter to make up for it), because also didn’t have enough zucchini or cinnamon. But, I made do without.
The result…two very yummy and moist loaves of bread.
Here’s the recipe:
INGREDIENTS
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups white sugar
2 cups grated zucchini
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F ( 165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8×4 inch loaf pans.
In a large bowl, beat eggs until light and frothy. Mix in oil and sugar. Stir in zucchini and vanilla. Combine flour, cinnamon, soda, baking powder, salt and nuts; stir into the egg mixture. Divide batter into prepared pans.
Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until done.
