I got this recipe from my mom, and it is called Mom’s Zucchini Bread. But she got it from allrecipes.com.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325F. Grease and flour two bread pans. With a sifter combine four, salt baking powder, soda and cinnamon in a bowl. Beat eggs, vanilla, oil and sugar. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. Stir in nuts and zucchini until combined well. Pour into pans and bake 40 to 60 minutes.

Notes:

I overcooked mine, but it was still good. The one pictured above is a loaf my mom gave me. Hers looked browner to me, so I kept waiting for mine to brown up – hence the overcooking. As to why it was lighter in color. Well, I decided to make only half the recipe. Everything was fine until I got to the part where it said 3 eggs…

It’s quite good, though Mom’s was better. Next time I will just make the whole recipe and give one loaf away like Mom did. I guess Mother knows best when it comes to Mom’s Zucchini Bread!
