Zucchini Nut Bread

Zucchini Nut Bread
makes 2 loaves or 24 muffins

3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 medium zucchini, ends removed, grated with peel on
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. grated nutmeg
1 tbsp. cinnamon
3 cups flour
1 cup chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans or 24 cups for muffins. Beat eggs until lemony yellow; add oil, sugar, zucchini and vanilla. Mix well. Add remaining ingredients; mix just until all flour is mixed in. Pour into prepared pans. Bake loaves 1 hour - 1 hour 15 minutes. Bake muffins 15-20 minutes (this can take longer...it is very dense). Makes delicious finger sandwiches with cream cheese
