This simple recipe is a delicious way of using up your zucchini crop, and even kids who won't normally eat zucchini will wolf down slice after slice--a great way of giving them their veggies!

 

Ingredients:

3 eggs
2 1/2 cups white sugar
3 cups grated zucchini including the skin
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour sifted
5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

 

Method:

Whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl.
Add oil and sugar and mix well.
Add grated zucchini and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
Sift the flour and the other dry ingredients together and add to the zucchini mixture a cup at a time, stirring well with each addition.
Divide the mixture into two greased and floured loaf pans.
Bake at 350 for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean.
Leave to cool for 15 minutes.
Turn the loaves out of their pans and wrap them in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Store your wrapped loaves in the refrigerator.
