Zucchini Bread for Rabbit Hole

I mentioned in the garlic knots post that I was starting work on a play at school.  Well, four very short weeks later and we're gearing up for our opening night!  The play features five desserts/baked goods that are consumed on stage.  As props manager, I have the joy of preparing all those treats (with the exception of the creme caramels, too much).  I grew up around cakes and lemon squares and tortes (thanks to my mom and my brother), but zucchini bread was a new challenge for me.  The recipe I found, on allrecipies.com, was extremely simple and was extremely delicious!

Zucchini Bread (this makes 2 loafs)

3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon 
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 1/4 cups sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups grated zucchini

1) Spray two bread pans (about 8" x 4") with baking spray.  Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2) Sift the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.

3) Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl.  Add the dry ingredients and beat well.  Stir in the grated zucchini, and pour the batter into the prepared pans.

4) Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean.  Cool in the pan on a rack for about 20 minutes.  Remove the bread from the pan and allow to cool completely.



So tasty.  The cast devoured it.  I will definitely be making this again!

  1. Looks yummy! If you want healthier, you can do a 1:1 substitute with applesauce for butter or oil. That's what I use.
