Sunday Recipe Zucchini Nut Bread

Its summer time and most gardens are starting to fill up with fresh produce.  Zucchini is usually one of those plants that produce a lot, so I like to use zucchini in recipes.

Zucchini Nut Bread

3 cups of flour

1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon soda

¼ teaspoon baking powder

3 eggs

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon vanilla

2 cups sugar

1 cup oil

2 cups zucchini, grated (unpared)

½ c. walnuts chopped (optional)

1 teaspoon flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together dry ingredients.  Beat eggs well in bowl.  Gradually add sugar and oil, mixing well.  Add vanilla and dry ingredients, blending well.  Stir in zucchini.  Combine walnuts with 1 teaspoon flour.  Stir into batter. Pour into two greased loaf pans, 8x4x3. Bake in 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until bread tests done.  Cool pans on rack for ten minutes.   Remove from pans and cool on racks.
