Zucchini Bread

Preheat to 350 | Makes 2 loaves

Ingredients:

3 eggs

2 cups sugar

1 cup oil

1 tsp vanilla

3 cups flour

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

2 cups grated zucchini

Optional add-ins: chopped nuts and/or chocolate chips

Instructions:

First prep zucchini and pans! Grate zucchini, set aside.  Spray 2 loaf pans with non-stick spray, OR even better: wipe the insides of each pan with shortening and then coat with flour by shaking it around (the kids know how to do this) - the bread will just pop out with this method!  And it makes the sides crispy.  Mmmm.

In a kitchen-aid or with a handheld mixer, beat eggs until foamy.  Add in sugar, oil and vanilla.  Mix well. Set aside.

In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.

Slowly add dry ingredients into wet ingredients - also add in the zucchini!  Mix well, scraping down sides occasionally.

Separate batter into the two prepared loaf pans.  Bake at 350 for 50-60 mins, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
