Zucchini Bread!!!


               Hey there everybody... OK so this weekend it was freezing in Colorado so cold weather for me equals baking... Common sense. So I thought I would make some delightful Zucchini bread... Yummy. I hope you enjoy!

What you need:

2 cups of granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon of vanilla
1 cup of vegetable oil
2 cups of grated zucchini
3/4 cup of chopped walnuts (optional)
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of allspice
1 teaspoon of cloves
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
3 cups of flour

              First, start with with pouring your sugar into a large bowl... If this is too complicated you really should find another hobby... Hehe


                  Now, crack three eggs into your sugar and beat them together until they are smooth and well blended.


                   Add your yummy vanilla extract and your oil to the mixture... Blend really well! 

               Now add in your salt, baking soda and baking powder... Don't forget this step... If you do your bread will be a failure...

                 Add the allspice, cloves, and cinnamon into your lovely mixture... I love the smell of all of these spices... Yummy

               Pour the flour into the mixture.. NOT all at once... That will turn  into a huge mess... Pour in about half a cup every time!

           Add your shredded zucchini and stir... Or blend on a very low speed... Now if your batter is a little thick for any reason add a little bit more oil... Just like a tablespoon or so... You don't want it like cookie dough, but you don't want it to be like water.

               Stir in your nuts...

                Now prepare three medium bread pans and flour them...If you don't know how to flour pans.. It is OK . What you do is you spread about a tablespoon or less of butter in your pans making sure you cover your sides and bottom very well... Now sprinkle about a tablespoon of flour on the bottom of the pan and hit it around so the flour hits all the buttered parts... If you are confused...  I am sure there are videos on YouTube. 
                 Pour mixture into the pans about 2/3 full. Bake at 325 degrees for about 45 minutes, then check with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, take the bread out of the oven and let cool.
                  Then slice up your masterpiece and eat it however way you like it! I hope you enjoy! Bon'Appetit!
