Zucchini Bread

While not the healthiest bread recipe, at least this one has zucchini in it (which is rich in dietary fibre - thus, helps to lower cholesterol and regulate bowel movements!). This is a top rated recipe from allrecipes.com (slightly modifited). You can easily substitute the oil for applesauce (or half anyway), which should make you feel a little less guilty about eating this! Enjoy!

Zucchini Bread

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups grated zucchini
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional! Personal sidenote - I HATE nuts in a bread!!!)

1. Grease and flour two 8 x 4 inch pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

2. Sift flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl.

3. Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture, and beat well. Stir in zucchini and nuts until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans.

4. Bake for 40 to 60 minutes in preheated oven, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and completely cool. ENJOY!
