Week of Recipes, Day # 4
Zucchini Bread
I don't remember where I found this recipe, but I love it. I made it last night at ten, I had a weird craving for it last night. I get weird cravings a lot, I can't tell you how many times I made my husband take me on late night runs to Artic Circle (a local burger place) to get fries or a chocolate mint oreo shake with fudge (Try it, now!) I don't know what we are going to do when I get pregnant someday, those cravings are going to be crazy.
Zucchini Bread
2 1/2 C. Sugar
3 eggs
3 C. Flour
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 c. oil
2 c. Grated Zucchini (I just use one zucchini and its usually only like 1 1/2 c. but its ok)
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 C. Chopped Nuts
3 tsp cinnamon
Mix everything together in a bowl, pour into bread pan. I don't know what size, mine doesn't say a size so I don't know what size it is, but for me the batter fills my regular sized one and a smaller one.
Bake at 350 Degrees for one hour.
This is the only recipe I have made of zucchini bread, and I absolutely love it. The outside is a bit crunchy. The first time I made it I was like, 'Oh my gosh I cooked it too long,' but then I tasted it and fell in love, the outside is my favoritest part, its like sweet and sugary and just lovely!!
UPDATE:
I have made this recipe lots more and still love it. But I have tweeked it to make it more healthy and still oh so delicious.
I do half wheat flour, half white flour; decrease the sugar to 1 3/4 Cups; and add 1 C. applesauce instead of the oil. It is still amazing, but doesn't carry as much guilt.
But if you want to stick to the original recipe, that is yummy too!
Ahhh, love zucchini bread!! So yummy, these food posts are killing me w/ this empty stomach. I need to go grocery shopping.
