ITALIAN ZUCCHINI BREAD RECIPE

Ingredients:

• 3 whole eggs
• 2 ¼ cups granulated sugar
• 2 cups shredded skin-on zucchini
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup oil (see note)
• 3 cups flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 4 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• Solid shortening to grease loaf pans
• Flour to coat loaf pans

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix first five ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Mix all of the dry except walnuts in a separate smaller bowl.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir just to combine.
5. Stir in walnuts.
6. Using shortening, grease the inside of two 9x5-inch loaf pans. Then add flour and tip the loaf pans on all sides so flour adheres to shortening.
7. Divide the batter between the two loaf pans and bake for one hour.
8. Poke a toothpick into the center of each bread to test for doneness – and it doesn’t come out clean, cook for a five or ten more minutes.
9. Cool in pan for five minutes then remove from pans to wire rack and cool to room temperature.
10. Cut each loaf pan into eight slices and serve.
