Zucchini Bread

Despite how offended some folks are by that smidge of green in a sweet bread, they honestly won’t even know that little bit of extra nutrition is in this delicious bread! The bread also benefits from the added moisture. Be aware that this recipe makes 2 loaves.

Ingredients

3 eggs
1 cup oil (such as vegetable)
2½ cups sugar
2 cups grated zucchini 
2½ teaspoons vanilla extract 
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
3 teaspoons cinnamon 
½ cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two loaf pans. 

  2. Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add oil, sugar, zucchini and vanilla. 

  3. Combine dry ingredients. Add to egg mixture and stir until just blended. Add in nuts.

  4. Pour into pans and bake for one hour.
