So I started the contest blog out with a Wheat Bread Recipe , and I am going to end it with another bread recipe!
Here is a great Zucchini Bread Recipe! I have made it twice so far and it turns out perfect and so yummy!
Zucchini Bread
3 eggs
1 C vegetable oil
1 ½ C sugar
3 medium zucchini – grated and well drained (2 C) (I put the grated zucchini in a strainer, press down with my hands to get out liquid and then put a plate on top to drain out as much liquid as possible. I’ll leave it for about 10 minutes to let it drain.)
2 t vanilla
2 C sifted flour (all purpose)
¼ t baking powder
2 t baking soda
3 t ground cinnamon
1 t salt
¼ t nutmeg
1 C raisins (optional)
1 C chopped walnuts
Beat eggs lightly in large bowl. Stir in oil, sugar, zucchini and vanilla.
Sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Cinnamon, nutmeg and salt onto wax paper. Stir into egg mixture until well blended. Stir in raisins and nuts. Spoon batter into two well greased 8 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pans. Put 3 C batter in each pan.
Bake in a moderate oven (375 degrees) for 1 hour or until center springs back when lightly pressed with fingertip. Cool in pans on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely.
(350 degrees works best for my oven and I still cook it for 1 hour – see which works best for you.)
Thankful for my friend Dani Kizer who shared this wonderful recipe with me!
In my bread I didn't use raisins, only walnuts, and it was fantastic. Also, I only used 2 zucchinis instead of 3 and that turned out wonderful!
Anyways, I would love to hear if any of you try this! Or if you have a different recipe, let me know what you do different in a comment below so I can try your style!
I hope you all enjoy this recipe, and can add it to your list of recipes to try!
