“ZUCCHINI BREAD” IS IN:

ZUCCHINI BREAD 
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups coarsely grated zucchini (loosely packed)
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat 3 eggs until frothy. Gradually add 2 cups sugar. Stir in 1 cup vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Beat until thick and lemon colored. Stir in zucchini.

In a medium bowl, whisk together to combine 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir dry mixture into wet mixture, stirring to combine. Add chopped walnuts or pecans, if desired.

Spray two bread loaf pans (approximately 8x4x3-inch) with Baker's Joy, or grease and flour to prevent sticking. Pour batter into pans and level off with the back of a spoon.

Bake at 350°F for approximately 1 hour or until done.

Allow loaves to cool in pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife along the sides to loosen bread and remove from pans. Cool on wire rack. Brush tops of loaf with melted butter while still warm.

Loved this! I added and addition 1/2 cup while wheat flour and upped the baking soda and powder a tad to compensate. In addition to the vanilla, I also added 1/2 teaspoon Fiori di Sicilia. It added a refreshing flavor that we are all enjoying with some whipped honey as I write!

Hi Gail,

You can wrap it tightly and put it in a Ziploc freezer bag to store for about 3 months at least.

Zucchini bread is wonderful.....but to lower the calories
I used the part sugar part splenda and only used 1 cup, 1/2 of what the recipe calls for...works great. I too used just splenda and it failed. We had zucchini in our garden this year, and I have frozen several shredded 2 cup bags for bread, muffins, and zucchini cookies......all taste wonderful.

This is the same recipe I have been using for years and it always turns out great. FYI to all: I puree the zucchini! Much faster - I also freeze the puree in 2 cup batches for making during the winter months.

Remember you can always use coconut oil in place of vegetable oil. I always do!

AWESOME!!! This recipe is an absolute keeper! My co-worker gave me a couple of huge zucchini from her garden and I had no idea what to do with them. I never made zucchini bread before and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I found this recipe. My kids loved it and I took it to work and have since had to make 4 more batches!! It is supermoist with a wonderful crunch on top even days after it's baked.

I have made this several times! I use pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon and butter the top. I also dust with powdered sugar. FANTASTIC!!!

I just love the COOKS.com website - it is a REFLECTION of the feelings of (obviously) a lot of great cooks.

I capitalized the word REFLECTIONS because it is the title of the radio program which I have the privilege of reading for the blind every week. This is through a service called SightSeers and we have readers who volunteer their time every week to read all sorts of interesting items for the sight-impaired; everything from the daily news to recipes and yes even the comics from the Sunday papers. It's a great service and we're very proud of it.

Because many of the seeing-impaired have a 'helper' of some kind who assists them in their everyday living - I sometimes use a recipe in my reading(s). This coming week I'll be sharing this Zucchini Bread recipe for all to enjoy. The local farmers are blessed with a prolific crop this year and I know for a fact that because a blind persons senses are more highly developed than a sighted persons is, that they will certainly be doubly-blessed by the wonderful aroma given off by this bread being baked. Thanks for sharing all your great recipes - keep up the good work.

Okay, I am legally blind with partial vision. I love to bake and am always looking for easy recipes to try. This one fit my needs just right. Instead of 1 cup of oil, I used 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce. I also used 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and 2 teaspoons of vanilla. The biggest difference I made was to use 2 1/4 cups of shredded yellow squash from my garden instead of zucchini. I just got done brushing on the butter and the smell is just driving me crazy!! I will definitely be making this again!
