Zucchini Bread

When I make light muffins (or sweet bread) me and my husband eat them.  When I am make full fat, full sugar muffins then my kids eat them.  And truth be told we have a slice here and there.  Depending on our current level of resistance (which is a constantly changing variable).

While I would not call this health food, I certainly would not call it junk either.  Junk to me has absolutely no redeeming qualities.  This I can  say has at least some vegetables in it.  And, yes, sometimes I throw in some flax seed for extra benefit.

Its always good to have a trusted stand by for zucchini bread and this one does not disappoint.

3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Grease and flour two 8×4 inch loaf pans.  Or if you so desire, line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk. Mix in oil and sugar, then vanilla.  Add the shredded zucchini.  In a separate bowl combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Stir the dry mixture into the egg mixture. Divide the batter into prepared pans. Bake loaves for 60 minutes, testing when it gets closer to the hour.  Stick toothpick into the center, if it comes out clean then they are done. Muffins for approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
