I somehow managed NOT to overplant the zucchini this year so am just now getting around to making zucchini bread. I had a zucchini bread recipe I liked well enough but just felt like experimenting a bit this afternoon. The primary differences is that this has more than double the sugar, so it’s much more like a dessert. Less baking soda and less cinnamon. Oh, and this one says to beat the eggs well before adding anything else. It came out fantastically light and delicious. I got it from one of those “community” cookbooks, the old fashioned blog-sharing I guess! Real people cooking real recipes! I always leave the nuts out because my girls don’t like them, but add 1 cup of chopped nuts if you’d like. I think the next time I’ll try my “less sugar” recipe but beat the eggs well first, which I’ve not done before.

3 eggs
1 cup oil
2 cups sugar
2 cups grated zucchini
1 Tbs vanilla
3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon

Beat the eggs well, then add the oil, sugar, zucchini, and vanilla and blend. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix. Pour into two greased loaf pans and bake 1 hour at 325 F.
