This is for Blue Witch, who enjoyed the carrot cake recipe. This time of year we have an overabundance of zucchini. Even one plant can provide enough zucchini for an entire neighborhood, so we’re constantly trying to find ways to use them up, or share them.
\nThis recipe for a zucchini tea bread is older than most of our children, and I make it at least once a year. I hope you enjoy it.
\nZucchini Bread
\n1 3\/4 cups all purpose flour
\n1 cup sugar
\n1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
\n1\/2 teaspoon salt
\n3\/4 teaspoon baking soda
\n1\/2 teaspoon baking powder
\n1\/2 cup salad oil
\n2 eggs, beaten
\n1 teaspoon vanilla extract
\n2 cups shredded zucchini
\n1 cup chopped walnuts
\nPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and grease and flour a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
\nIn a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Mix thoroughly. With a spoon, add the zucchini and walnuts, and spread the batter in the pan.
\nBake 70 miunutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the pan for 10 minutes on a wire rack, and then remove the loaf from the pan. Let cool completely. Wrap to store.
\nThis year, because we are making an effort to cut calories and fat from our diet, I may try replacing the oil with applesauce. I’ll let you know what happens<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
