My Favorite Zucchini Bread Recipe

We have been eating zucchini for weeks now...we love it fried with onions just until it's a little soft Yum! I made my favorite zucchini bread and I thought I would share it with you. Enjoy!


My Favorite Zucchini Bread


3 cups all-purpose flour


2 cups sugar


1 teaspoon salt


1 teaspoon baking soda


1/4 teaspoon baking powder


3 eggs


1 cup vegetable oil


2 teaspoons vanilla extract


1 teaspoon cinnamon


2 cups of zucchini (shredded)


In large bowl mix the flour, sugar, salt,baking soda,and baking powder. In small bowl add eggs, oil, vanilla and cinnamon. Use a hand mixer and mix together....then add dry ingredients a small amount at a time. Blend in zucchini at the very end...( batter will be a little thick)


This makes two 8-in x 4in x 2 in loaf pans Bake at 350 for about 1 hour.



Don't forget you can add Chocolate chips to this recipe but reduce the flour to 2-3/4 cups.


I have also added Apple pieces....reduce sugar to 1 cup and add 1 cup brown sugar...and replace cinnamon with 1/4 teaspoon on nutmeg....Yum!


Happy Gardening....

Zucchini bread is one of my all-time favorites. I am definitely going to try the variation with the apples, cinnamon and nutmeg. I am powerless against nutmeg.
