Grandma's Zucchini Bread







Hi all,

This is my grandma's recipe and it is so delish I was surprised she gave it to me because I was sure it had to be a secret recipe, LOL! It's been oneof my favorite treats as long as I can remember. I hope you get a chance to make this because rather than tasting like bread, it is more like cake and it makes the whole house smell like Christmas (or maybe just like cinnamon :) ... It makes 2 loaves but I usually double the recipe because everyone eats it up almost immediately... it freezes very well if you intend to stash some away :) ... I just pulled some out of the oven and I can't wait to get started eating some... you have to try this recipe!

Zucchini Bread
(Makes 2 loaves)

2 cups grated zucchini (skin too, if tender)
3 eggs (beaten)
2 cups sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup crisco oil
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt

Mix everything together well in large mixing bowl (an eggbeater works nicely).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, bake for one hour in baking pans (grease and line bottom of baking pans with wax paper). You may not feeling like waiting, but do let the bread cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pans!
