Mom's Best Zucchini -Walnut Recipe - How to Make Quick, Easy Healthy Nut Bread

How to Make Quick and Easy Zucchini Nut or Walnut Bread? Well - it couldn't be easier.

Besides ease of preparation, this is the best and the easiest way ever to get my kids to eat zucchini. It has a great texture, flavor and can be held in your hand with a napkin to give relative ease of eating.

Walnuts may be substituted for pecans or any other nuts (except maybe peanuts, they are too salty).

The ingredients are economical and the whole thing takes at most an hour to prepare.

Here is the Zucchini Recipe:

Combine and mix together in a large bowl:

3 cups all purpose flour,

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

3 tsp. ground cinnamon

In a separate bowl, combine

3 eggs, well - beaten

1 cup vegetable oil

2-1/4 c. white sugar

3 t. vanilla extract

2 c. grated zucchini, undrained

1 c. sorted (for shells) and chopped walnuts

Make a well in the large bowl and add the moist ingredients into the center, mixing very well.

Bake 40-60 minutes at 325 degrees F. or 165 degrees C. If I make it in two smaller pans, it seems to take less time than if I combine it into one large round pan.

As it bakes, it may develop a crack in the top. That is fine.

After checking for doneness, let it cool in the pan 20 minutes and then remove on a rack.

This bread freezes well. Ideally you can eat one loaf now and place the second in the freezer for later!

The tiny green zucchini pieces in the bread give roughage and texture as well as flavor.

Try it!
