Zucchini Bread π I love, adore, crave, and dream of warm homemade zucchini bread!! lol It reminds me of my childhood… and we all know how powerful the smell and taste of something from your past can be. It’s almost as if the moment you take a bite it just whisks you back to that special place. Super duper cool is what that is! And so here is my recipe for homemade zucchini bread π I love it so much that I could eat a whole loaf to myself. My favorite is to have a slice toasted with butter on it…. and I ALWAYS save the top part of the slice for last π Kind of like when you eat around the sandwich and you leave the middle part…. or like saving the muffin top for last! YUM.
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- Β½ cup chopped walnuts
- 1 tsp salt
- ΒΌ tsp baking powder
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Butter and flour two 8 x 4 or 9 x 5 bread pans. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs until light and frothy. Add sugar, oil and vanilla and beat until well incorporated. Gently stir in the zucchini. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt and walnuts. Pour the dry ingredients into the zucchini mixture. Stir well.
- Evenly pour batter into the two prepared bread pans. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the bread cool for 5 minutes in the pans before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!!
