Neighborly Zucchini Bread

Visiting Shae & family on Saturday night, so we had to bake.  Don got a zucchini on the way at a vegetable stand, so we decided we should make some zucchini bread.

Shae has a zucchini bread recipe from an old neighbor when she was younger.  It goes something like this:

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
Mix well and then add
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup pecans (optional -- we skipped this)
Mix well and add
  • 3 oz box instant vanilla pudding
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
Divide into 3 loaf pans
Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees F

Alternatively, we think you could use 2 loaf pans and bake at 350 degrees for one hour.  Shae wants to test this latter, but we'll see what the Little One thinks of that idea.

It smells yummy here now.
