“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.

I made this recipe for my husband's work carry in. Needless to say everyone loved and wanted the recipe. The only thing different I did was 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup brown sugar. Thank you for posting this recipe!

Great Recipe. To make it super easy and quick, I used pancake mix instead of the flour, baking soda, and salt. This, combined with a dash of OJ and 1/2 brown sugar and 1/2 white sugar, made a scrumdiddliumptions and very easy bread!

I was looking for an easy zucchini bread recipe and came across this one. My whole family loves it, and best of all, my 12 year old can throw this together herself. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Excellent taste and very moist, the butter over the top does the trick. Just love it!

Got this one in the oven now. I added about 1/2 cup more of flour to adjust for altitude and I also added a little bit of Nutmeg. If it turns out well I'm going to try this one again tomorrow and substitute pumpkin for the zucchini. :-)

Love, love, love this recipe! It turns out more like a cake but it was absolutely delicious. My kids had no idea they were eating veggies... The only thing I did differently was add an extra 1/2 cup of zucchini since I had the extra and didn't want to waste it and an extra 1/2 tsp of cinnamon since I just love the flavor. Added this to my daughter's recipe box I am making for her.

Hi Chris,

A zucchini is a thin-skinned cylindrical vegetable, also known as Summer squash and courgette. You can find it in the fresh vegetable section of the supermarket when in season or at local markets.

Chris, it's from the squash family of vegetables. Not sure where you are from but Zucchini is available in USA I believe Europe & South America.

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!

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 use a very similar recipe for Zucchini Bread, but add 3/4 cup flaked coconut, and it's delicious!

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.
