Zucchini Bread

My dad dropped off a few veggies from his garden this past weekend when he came to help Steve replace our hail-damaged shed. I decided to use the zucchini to make some bread. Anything to procrastinate cleaning the house, right?

I got this recipe from a military friend during pilot training. Wow, that was ages ago, 10+ years. Wonderful recipe!! Thanks for sharing Cindy!!

3 cups flour (I use sneaky chef mixture--one white, one whole-wheat, one wheat germ)
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp soda
3 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder


3 eggs
3/4 cup oil (I use applesauce)
2 cup sugar
2 cups grated zucchini (2 -3 med-sized, or 1 big one)
3 tsp vanilla

Mix all dry ingredients, except sugar together with a fork, set aside.

Beat eggs until foamy, add oil, sugar, zucchini, and vanilla. Mix lightly, but well. Slowly add all dry ingredients. Divide intp greased and floured loaf pans.

Bake 350 for about an hour. Makes 2 big loaves, or 4 small. (Muffins bake in less time**)

Once baked, these freeze well. :)
