Does anyone have a good recipe for zuccini bread, I had one and cant find it, I have some in the freezer that I need to use up.Thanks

ZUCCHINI BREAD

3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspooon 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

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 tablespoon 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 8"x4"x3")with cooking spray, or grease and flour to prevent sticking. Pour batter into pans and level off with the back of a spoon. Fill only about 3/4 full.

Bake for approximately 1 hour or until done. (toothpick test)

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.

Have fun baking

oops, I forgot to put in there that you can substitute apple sauce for the oil and it turns out great with less calories.~It will NOT taste like apples!
