Prep time: 15 min Cook time 45-60 min

• 3 eggs
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups coarsely grated zucchini (loosely packed)
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat 3 eggs until frothy. Gradually add 2 cups sugar. Stir in 1 cup vegetable oil and 1 tbsp of vanilla. Beat until thick and lemon colored. Stir in zucchini.

In s medium bowl whisk together dry ingredients. Stir dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring to combine. Add chopped walnuts or pecans, if desired.

Grease two bread loaf pans. Pour batter into pans and level off with the back of a spoon.

Bake for 45-60 minutes or until done(knife entered into middle of bread comes out clean).

Allow loaves to cool in pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife along the sides to loosen bread and remove from pans. Cool on wire rack. Brush tops of leaf with melted butter while still warm.

Yield: 2 loaves

Do NOT over cook the bread. Set your timer for 45 minutes and then 5 minute intervals after that. Other wise you will dry it out. I have done it a few times. I have never made it with the nuts either so I don’t know how that would come out.
