Zucchini Bread

 
Here's what I made with our JUMBO sized zucchini, yesterday. Mmmmm.... so good!

Anna's Zucchini Bread
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 1/3 cups sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups grated zucchini (if using extra large zucchini, slice open and remove seeds)
1 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Grease and flour two 8 x 4 inch pans.
Combine flour, salt, baking powder, soda, cinnamon and nutmeg together in a bowl.
Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl.
Add sifted ingredients to the wet mixture; beat well.
Stir in zucchini and nuts until well combined.
Pour batter into prepared pans.
Bake for 50 to 70 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes. Remove loaves from pan, and completely cool.

Eat when warm! Mmmmm, good!!
Enjoy morning, noon, and night...
Or freeze for enjoying later... mmmm, good!

I prefer to eat my bread plain, but you could spread on some soft butter.

Wow... It looks delicious! I can say Healthy eating is about more than the food on your plate—it is also about how you think about food.

Mmmm...I just picked up some zuc. from my veggie lady. Was wondering how I could change up your yummy bannana bread recipe for zuc.

YUM, looks like the bread reciepe I have. I make it sometimes but more often make the chocolate one! I'll look it up and send it to you to try. It looks like you will be getting plenty of zucchini to bake with. So far the few vines that took are not producing altho I did see some squash blossoms this weekend. Maybe soon! Hugs...

YUM, I surely wish I had some RIGHT NOW!!! That would be SO good. I used to love it when my Aunt would bring by zucchini bread for us years ago...what a great memory. I'm glad you are enjoying your harvest!!:D

mmmm, I baked 2 loaves recently too - the nutmeg is what makes it so delicious! I *love* it warm from the oven with a little butter (okay, lots of butter!).
