Zucchini Bread

This family recipe from my Aunt was an easy way to use up those baseball bat sized zucchini that she grew every year in her garden. I still think nothing beats the smell and taste of warm bread right out of the oven – I hope you enjoy it too!

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1 ½ cup sugar
• 2 cups zucchini – grated
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

In one bowl, beat eggs until foamy. Add zucchini, oil and vanilla – mixing lightly but well. In a second bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Incorporate the dry ingredients into the first bowl slowly, mixing well by hand.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Separate your mixture into two greased 9 x 5 bread pans. Bake for one hour or until a knife comes out clean from the center.
