Zucchini Bread

This is a very simple, delicious, easy-to-make, moist zucchini bread recipe prepared with freshly grated zucchini, cinnamon and walnuts. If you're feeling adventurous, you may add a little nutmeg or some cranberries (fresh or dried). A very special thank you to Triple P for submitting this month's entry. Enjoy!

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 55 mins - 1 hour
Servings: 2 loaves

3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups zucchini, coarsely grated
1 cup walnuts, chopped
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat eggs until frothy. Beat in sugar, oil and vanilla and mix until thick and lemon-colored.

In a small bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Add dry mixture to wet mixture and mix until fully combined. Stir in zucchini and nuts.

Pour batter into two oiled and floured loaf pans (or use baking spray). Bake at 350 F about one hour, checking with toothpick towards the end.

Let sit 10 minutes before inverting on racks to cool completely.
