Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 2 cups grated & drained zucchini
  • 3 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional) or 2/3 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 2/3 cup raisins (optional)

Instructions

  1. Beat eggs until fluffy; add oil, sugar, vanilla, and zucchini; mix well.
  2. Combine dry ingredients and add to wet mixture; mix well.
  3. Toss nuts and/or raisins in a bit of flour then stir into batter.
  4. Pour batter into two 9x5" loaf pans that have been sprayed on bottoms only with no-stick cooking spray; bake at 350° for 1 hour or until bread tests (a toothpick inserted near center of loaf comes out clean) done; cool loaves for about 10 minutes in pans then loosen sides of loaves (I do this by running a small plastic knife around the edges) and remove from pans; cool completely before slicing.
  5. NOTE: I include about 3/4 cup whole wheat flour in the total amount.
