double trouble

this is an ideal match for your afternoon tea...or your early morning coffee...or your late morning coffee...or your afternoon snack...or your late night snack...
you get the idea - this is just damn good. it's no revolutionary recipe or anything and most people i know already love/make/eat it but i found a delicious recipe for zucchini bread that i wanted to share.

this bad boy yields 2 loaves - perfect for freezing one (or taking it out of the freezer the very next morning to eat because you already inhaled the first loaf).

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil - NOTE: NO OIL!!! INSTEAD USE APPLESAUCE IN A STRAIGHT SWAP. 1 CUP APPLESAUCE
  • 2 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
now go for it!
  1. Grease and flour two 8 x 4 inch pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. Sift flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
  3. Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture, and beat well. Stir in zucchini and nuts until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans.
  4. Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

  1. I have been trying to get through my thousands of green tomatoes. Found success with a coffee cake which called for 4 cups of chopped tomatoes. It was pretty good although I cut out about 1/3 of the sugar and changed from butter to oil. With that recipe, I got through most of them. The green tomato pie was less successful although the neighbors seemed to like it. You did not answer me about your boot size. I have 2 pairs of size 10, barely worn.
