[rootofnewt]

I went to my memories to link the zucchini bread recipe, only to discover that the community I'd posted it in is long gone.

That's okay, I can repost it here. ;)


great-grandma's zucchini bread, as transcribed by my mother.

3 eggs, beat until well dead and frothy. (very frothy)
beat in:
2 c sugar
1 c vegetable oil
1 T vanilla
beat until thick and lemon-colored and screaming in pain.
sift together:
2 c flour
2 T cinnamon
2 t baking soda
1 t salt
1/4 t baking powder
add to liquid ingredients
stir in 2 c loosely packed, coarsely grated zucchini
fold in 1 c walnuts (optional)

pour the mixture into 2 oiled and floured loaf pans. bake in preheated oven at 350° for 1 hour or until done.
let cool 10 minutes. remove and let cool on rack until completely cool.

c = cup
T = tablespoon
t = teaspoon
degrees are Fahrenheit
"until done"= toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, edges begin to pull away from pan



Someone just posted results of using a specific GF flour mix for banana bread. The bread looks fab, so I simply must try that mix with my beloved zucchini bread.

Let me know how the GF recipe turns out. I have a couple of friends with celiac disease, and I'd love to be able to make Zucchini Bread for them!

it's been ages since I've had zucchini bread, my mother used to make freeze man...at least 20 or 30 loaves worth of zucchini every summer to make bread through out the winter with (two zucchini plants will feed an entire neighborhood for crying out loud) That recipe sounds SO good.

(wonder if you poured the batter in muffin pans if it would turn out okay? Would have to vary the cooking time, but..
