Find Your Zen Zucchini Bread Recipe

The days are starting to get shorter and cooler, and I am gathering the last of my zucchinis and tomatoes from the garden.  This is the time of year I begin to think about bringing out snuggly throws,  building cozy fires in the fireplace, and baking my favorite fall fare. Nothing says comfort like fresh bread warm from the oven.  I shared some of my favorite sugar & spice fall flavors on Tuesday.  You can add this recipe to the list!

This is my all-time favorite recipe for zucchini bread.  It has always been a favorite for my three boys too.  This recipe makes two loaves of bread.  Just cut all the ingredients in half (you can use two eggs instead of three) if you only want one loaf.  It can also be made gluten free.  It’s perfect to take on fall picnics with a thermos of coffee or tea.  Or just cuddle up with your love bunnies and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 cups grated zucchini
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 cups unbleached flour (for gluten free bread use all purpose gluten free flour blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts OR pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Beat eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla.  Add grated zucchini. Gradually sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon into mixture and continue to beat until smooth.  Nuts are optional.

Pour into two greased loaf pans.  Bake for one hour.  Wait until cool to remove from pan. Run a butter knife around all sides of the bread and gently tap on the bottom to remove from pan.
