Zucchini Nut Bread

Zucchini Nut Bread

(makes 2 loaves or 24 muffins)

Ingredients:

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

Directions:

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.
