STOCKPILE COOKING - ZUCCHINI BREAD


Zucchini Bread


Last week my neighbor called to see if I liked zucchini; of course I do! 
So they brought me a few very very large zucchinis.


All I could say was "what am I going to do with that?!"

My kid's response:  "can we blow them up?"
(they are teenage boys remember)

When zucchini get to this size they get very seedy
and not so great just to eat.

So I like to do two things with them:
  • Stuff them (recipe to come)
  • Make Zucchini Bread


INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 1/2 cup of flour
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1/4 cup of oil
  • 1 cup of shredded zucchini, unpeeled

DIRECTIONS:
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Prep loaf pan by greasing the bottom and sides. 
  • I like to grease the pan and then coat with sugar. 
  • This makes a yummy sweet crunchy crust!

  • In a medium bowl combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt & nutmeg.
  • In another bowl combine the egg, sugar, oil & zucchini.
  • Mix each bowl separately.
  • Add the wet mixture to the large bowl of dry ingredients.
  • Stir until all is moist.
  • Don't over mix, the batter should be lumpy.
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes. 
  • I like to check mine at 40 & cook longer if needed
  • Remove from pan and let cool on a wire rack

ENJOY!!
