Zucchini Bread

One of my favorite recipes that my mama makes is zucchini bread! It is absolutely delicious and is best served warm with a little bit of butter.

Ingredients:

2 cups - all-purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon - baking powder

3/4 teaspoon - baking soda

3/4 teaspoon - salt

1/4 teaspoon - cinnamon

1 cup - Granulated Sugar

2/3 cup - vegetable oil

3 - eggs

1 1/3 cups - grated, unpeeled zucchini

2/3 cup - chopped pecans(optional)

2/3 cup - raisins (optional)

Instructions :

Preheat oven to 350° F. Generously grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. In medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and set aside. In another medium mixing bowl, combine sugar, oil, eggs and zucchini. Add zucchini mixture all at once to dry mixture. Stir just until moistened. Fold in the pecans and raisins. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake 55-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack. Wrap in plastic wrap or foil. 

Makes 1 loaf.
