For church tonight I made a super yummy (IMO!) Zuchini bread...love it! I did some altering to the recipe, but I think it was good altering...can never have too much cinnamon or nutmeg!

Want the recipe? Here it is just for you!

3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil (I used Olive oil)
2 cups white sugar
2 cups grated zucchini
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour (I used half white, half wheat)
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (I omited the nuts in case of allergies)

I also added nutmeg...didn't measure, just tossed it in there



DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F ( 165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8x4 inch loaf pans.
In a large bowl, beat eggs until light and frothy. Mix in oil and sugar. Stir in zucchini and vanilla. Combine flour, cinnamon, soda, baking powder, salt and nuts; stir into the egg mixture. Divide batter into prepared pans.
Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until done.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoy the recipe and the card Happy Stampin' to all and may God Bless you always!
