Zucchini Bread

We've had our first reader submission! This zucchini bread recipe looks delicious:

3 c flour

1 Tbs cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp baking powder
3 eggs
1 c sugar
1 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 c vegetable oil
1 Tbs vanilla
2 c zucchini, grated
½ c chopped nuts (optional)
I like to add chocolate chips to this recipe even though it doesn’t actually call for it!

Sift flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside In a large bowl, thoroughly beat eggs, sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil and vanilla. Stir in sifted ingredients. (Mixture will be pretty thick until you mix in the zucchini) Blend in grated zucchini and nuts. Pour into 2 greased and lightly floured 4 ½ x 8 ½ inch loaf pans. Sprinkle top with cinnamon and sugar. Bake at 325 for 60-70 minutes.
Note: When zucchini is “plentiful,” I like to grate the zucchini and freeze in 2 cup quantities to be used all year long.
