Zucchini Bread

When a recent visit from Will's grandparent's house, I left with a hoard of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and one very large zucchini. And memories of my mom making zucchini bread came to mind; grating zucchini, the smell of cinnamon filling the air... now I'm getting excited!

Note: This recipe makes 2 loaves of bread or one large bundt cake.

Ingredients:

• 3 C flour (I used 2 C AP flour, and 1 C whole wheat flour)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3 tsp cinnamon
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 C vegetable oil
• 1/2 C apple sauce
• 1 C granulated white sugar
• 1 C brown sugar
• 3 tsp vanilla extract
• 3-4 C grated zucchini, not drained (the liquid makes the zucchini moist)
• Optional: 1 C chopped walnuts

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

I put Will to work grating the zucchini!

Sift the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.

In my mixer, I beat the eggs, oil, applesauce, sugar, and vanilla extract.

I added the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.

Beat well.

Fold/stir in the zucchini (and if you are adding walnuts, raisins, etc.).

The batter is ready!

Bake for 60 min.
