ZUCCHINI BREAD

 (makes 2 loafs)

Ingredients:

*3 cups flour

*1 teaspoon salt

*1 teaspoon baking powder

*4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

*3 eggs

*1 cup vegetable oil

*2 1/4 cups sugar

*3 teaspoons vanilla

*2 cups grated zucchini

*2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:

~Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

~Grease and flour two bread pans.

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

~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 and mix well.

~Pour batter into prepared pans.

~Bake for 40-60 minutes, or knife comes out clean when stuck in center.

~Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes.

~Remove bread form pan, and finish cooling.

Variation:

`Omit walnuts

`Add 1 cup blueberries (I coat them lightly in flour so they don't sink to the bottom of the bread).
`Add 1 cup flaked coconut
`Add 1 cup chocolate chips (I coat them lightly in flour so don't sink to the bottom of the bread).

Helpful Hint:

When I prepare the bread pans, I substitute the flour with cinnamon sugar. It works well and leaves a hint of cinnamon sugar on the bread.
