Recipe: Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread
Here’a fall favorite of mine that I thought I’d share. It is easy to make and delicious.
Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread
2 cups flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. each allspice and nutmeg
1 cup sugar
1 cup walnuts, or other nuts
3 eggs
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup oil
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. grated lemon rind
2 medium zucchini (unpeeled), coarsely shredded (about 2 cups lightly packed)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, stir together flours, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and sugar. Mix in nuts.
In medium bowl, beat eggs to blend yolks and whites, then beat in brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and lemon rind. Mix zucchini into egg mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Divide batter evenly into two greased, lightly foured 4-1/2 x 8-1/2 inch loaf pans. Bake until loaves are well browned and a wooden skewer inserted in center comes out clean (50 minutes to 1 hour). Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire racks to cool competely. Makes 2 loaves.
Enjoy!
