Zucchini Bread

Makes: 2 Large Loaves

Ingredients:

1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups zucchini, grated
3 cups flour, sifted
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

Combine sugars, oil, and eggs. Beat until well blended. Add zucchini and vanilla. In a separate bowl, sift the flour with salt, soda, cinnamon, and baking powder. Combine the creamed mixture with the flour mixture, blending well. Add the nuts if desired. Pour into 2 greased and lightly floured large loaf pans.

Bake for at least 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Turn out of the pans to cool.

Additional Tips:

Definitely use the nuts (Assuming you aren’t allergic, of course)! The crunch added by the nuts takes this bread to a whole new level of delicious!
You can also bake the bread in 4-5 small loaf tins. These are great for sharing! Holiday neighbor gifts, anyone?
