Just yummy! Enough said.
Makes two loaves.
Ingredients
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups grated/shredded zucchini
1 cup butter, melted
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 & 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 cup raisins
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups grated/shredded zucchini
1 cup butter, melted
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 & 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 cup raisins
Steps
- Melt butter over low heat or in microwave and let cool slightly.
- Grease and flour two loaf pans. Set aside.
- In a bowl, stir together flour, salt, spices, baking powder, and baking soda.
- After I shred the zucchini, I like to squeeze some of the excess juice out of it. You can use your hands or wrap it up in an old, clean dishtowel and squeeze over the sink.
- In a separate bowl, mix eggs and sugar. Add shredded zucchini, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir.
- Add flour mixture to the zucchini mixture and stir well. Add chopped nuts and raisins.
- Spoon dough between two loaf pans. Bake at 325° F for about an hour. Test with a knife to see if it is done - push the knife into the center. If it comes up clean, the bread is done. If not, put it back in the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes.
- Let cool about 15 minutes in the pans, then remove bread. Let cool on racks for about 20 minutes or so before eating.
