Zucchini Bread





Zucchini Bread is delicious.  I think it's better than banana bread, but both are great.  This is just the basic Betty Crocker recipe, but I love it.  You can make 2 8-inch loaves or one 9-inch loaf.  You only need 3 cups of shredded zucchini, so if you have a big one - shred the whole thing and fill Ziploc bags with 3 cups of shredded to have on hand in your freezer!


Zucchini Bread

Ingredients:
3 cups zucchini, peeled, seeded and shredded
1 2/3 cups sugar
2/3 cup oil (canola or vegetable)
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions:
Heat oven to 350.  Mix zucchini, sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl.  Stir in remaining ingredients.  Pour into greased pans.  If making two 8-inch loaves bake 50 to 60 minutes, if making one 9-inch loaf bake 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.  Cool in pan for 10 minutes on wire rack then remove from pans to finish cooling on wire racks.
