Zucchini Bread for Knit Wits

One good way to use a bumper crop of zucchini is to make quick bread. I know women who make many loaves of this in summer and freeze it to use whenever they need it. It's great to give as gifts to new neighbors and friends. This recipe is from a cookbook sold to raise funds for the local homeless charities, "Delicious Desserts from the Knit Wits" from Santa Cruz Bible Church circa 2011. A The "Knit Wits" are a wonderful group of women who regularly donate their knitted blankets, scarves, hats etc. to the homeless. They also love to bake.

Ingredients:

3 eggs
2 C zucchini, grated
2 t vanilla
2 C sugar
1 c oil
3 C flour
1 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1 t salt
3 t cinnamon

Directions:

Beat eggs until foamy; add sugar, zucchini, vanilla and oil. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients; mix well; stir in nuts. Pour batter into 2 prepared loaf pans (I use 7-inch aluminum so I can give them away). Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
