For
domynoe and the others who've asked, here's my recipe for zucchini bread. I tweaked the recipe in the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook a little, and I love it.
Zucchini Bread
Oven: 350 degrees F
Bake time: 50 minutes
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 egg, beaten
1 cup sugar
1 cup finely shredded, unpeeled zucchini
1/4 cup all-natural applesauce
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
the zest of 1/2 a lemon
Being a Griswold, I dump all the dry ingredients into the bowl, dump the wet in on top, and mix it together. :) Put in a loaf pan, bake for 50 minutes at 350 degrees. And yes, I do put the zest in - it's a lovely addition of flavor. I've tried it with orange zest as well - also yummy! I've also halved the zucchini and subbed in shredded apple - very nice. You can do half zucchini/half carrot too.
Enjoy!
