Zucchini Bread

One of my favorite types of bread is zucchini bread and I have a fabulous recipe to share.  It tastes really good, and actually one of the very few things that I make that I actually like.  It is really easy to prepare and takes less than 20 minutes.   


Ingredients
1 1/2 cup white flour

(I've tried this recipe with 1/2 wheat and 1/2 white and it still tastes great!)

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup oil (I use olive oil)

1 tsp Cinnamon

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 beaten egg

1 cup shredded unpeeled zucchini

1/4 tsp of salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (if desired)

• Pre-heat your oven to 350F
• Grease your loaf pan and set aside (I use Pam, or occasionally a bit of butter)
• Mix the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda in a separate bowl.  
• Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and set aside.
• In another bowl, add the egg, sugar, zucchini and oil.
• Mix until moistened (don't over mix).
• Add all the wet mixture to the dry mixture.  
• Mix until moist (don't over mix), mixture will be lumpy.
• Fold in the nuts.
• Pour batter into your loaf pan
• Bake at 350F for 50-55 min, depending on your oven
• Cool before cutting!

Bon Appetit! :)
