It's coming outta my ears...zucchini that is...and if you have a garden, you might be in a similar situation. This is one of our favorite recipes for old fashioned zucchini bread, and you can even take a few minutes to shred up that extra zucchini and put some in freezer bags for to use later on. I love to freeze extra zucchini and use it for this zucchini bread, and my zucchini muffins.
Zucchini Bread
-3 cups flour
-1 tsp. salt
-1 tsp. baking powder
-1 tsp. baking soda
-1 Tbs. cinnamon
-3 eggs
-1 cup canola oil
-2 1/4 cups sugar
-1 Tbs. vanilla extract
-3 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine dry ingredients and set aside. Beat cinnamon, eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Slowly add dry ingredients, and then zucchini. Divide batter between two greased and floured bread pans. Bake for45-50 minutes.
I love this bread for breakfast, but I put in chopped walnuts and lemon peel.

For some reason our zucchini isn't doing as well this year and I'm so sad. :( I LOVE using zucchini in all sorts of recipes, but one of my faves is chocolate zucchini cake. It's similar to this - http://lickthebowlgood.blogspot.com/2010/09/summer-is-still-here.html - but I healthify it.

Yep, best way to use up the Zucchini! We loved our Zucchini Bread, when we lived in the country and had our big gardens. We later planted yellow zucchini - it was sweeter and didn't grow in such an abundance. Love your blog and all you share - recipes and farm life. Brings back sweet memories of our time on our Or'Land'ho! (Our Land Ho - as we called it). People at work would ask me where I went on my holidays and I always answered 'Or'Land'Oh Resort' :)!!

I LOVE zucchini bread recipes! I lost all my plants to the critters so I guess I'll have to see if anyone around is giving any away so I can try your recipe. Thanks for sharing!
