Yes, gang. This IS the recipe for the zucchini bread that you have all been raving about! (curtsy curtsy!)

It is a one bowl, easy peasy no mixer winner. I threw in cranraisens and sunflower seeds the first time I made this. YES!! Again…..YES!!! Then tried the walnuts for the next 6 loaves!! Yes, I think that’s how many loaves I have made this summer with my home grown zucchini. Such a good year for zucchini and the first time I have grown it in………..(ouch)…………yeah it’s been a long time!

Here’s all you do:

Grandma’s Zucchini Bread:

Ingredients: (makes 2 loaves)
2 cups grated zucchini
1 lemon’s zest
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup vegetable or canola oil
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup raisins (I used craisins)
1 cup chopped walnuts (try sunflower seeds too )

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift dry ingredients. beat in oil, eggs, sugar, unil combined. Then, beat in grated zucchini, lemon zest, walnuts, and raisins until combined. Grease two bread pans and bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean.

See what I mean? Easy peasy! Anyone can do it.

Bon Appétit!
