Zucchini Bread

Absolutely delicious! We used zucchini fresh from our garden. The zucchini bread turned out very moist and kept well until every last bit was eaten up! You can also use 1 C oil instead of 1/2 C oil and 1/2 C applesauce; when made with only oil, the outside becomes crispy and flaky.

Ingredients:

3 eggs (beaten)

1/2 C oil

1/2 C applesauce

1 1/4 C sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

3 C flour

2 C zucchini (shredded, drained)

Directions:

1. With electric mixer, beat eggs, oil, applesauce, sugar, and vanilla.

2. Add in salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda.

3. Mix in flour 1/2 C at a time.

4. With spoon, stir in zucchini.

5. Pour into two loaf pans or muffin tin (greased).

6. Bake at 350 F for 45-55 minutes (30 minutes for muffins).
