Zucchini Bread Aunt Ruths Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together 1 cup of oil,2 cups of sugar Add 2 cups of zucchini.
• Add 3 eggs and 3 tsps of vanilla.
• Sift together 2½ cups of flour, 1 teaspoons of salt,
• 2 tsps of baking soda and ¼ tsp of baking powder.
• Add 3 tsps of cinnamon.
• Mix all together - then add the ½ cup of pecans.
• Bake for 1 hour in a preheated 350 degree F oven in 3 - 3½" x 7" x 2" inch pans. Spray all 3 pans with Pam cooking spray. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans,.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 325 F.
• Grease and flour 2 5x9 loaf pans or 4 mini loaf pans.
• Shred the zucchini into thin strips either by hand or a food processor attachment.
• Press the zucchini dry by putting it in a strainer and press down (in the sink or outside) with a few paper towels until the towels don't really absorb much more water. (This is so the zucchini absorb the ingredients rather than make the bread mushy with all their water).
• In a large mixing bowl mix sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla and zucchini.
• Sift (the sifting is important!) flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices (sometimes I add more of the spices if I'm making the loaf for me).
• Add dry mixture to wet zucchini mixture and beat with a fork until well blended.
• Fold in chopped nuts.
• Pour into the loaf pans.
• Bake at 325 F for 1 hour, or 45 min if you're using mini loaf pans.
• Check every 20 minutes for doneness with a toothpick or knife. I like it when its just starts to get crispy on top, but still has a little shine to it.
• Cool 20 minutes in pans on a rack, then remove from pans.

Steps:

• Blend together eggs, sugar, oil, and zucchini.
• Mix together remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
• Add dry ingredients to zucchini mixture.
• Add nuts, vanilla, and (optional) raisins.
• Pour into 2 or 3 greased loaf pans.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour.
