Grandma's Zucchini Bread

I have the greatest Grandma in the world. She is 88, still lives on her own, her mind is still quick as anything - even if her knees aren't so quick anymore!

Any day that you stop by her house she will probably be baking something - for someone else or crocheting a gift for someone special. She's always ready to play a game with the grandchildren or great grandchildren and although I don't get to see her very much anymore because I live 10 hours away from her, her house is one of my favorite places to go.





















At 88 she is still one of the best cooks I know and just loves to do special things for her family. She has been blessed with over 50 grandchildren, great grandchildren and even 1 great-great grandchild! I thank God for giving us such a wonderful grandma and giving her so many years with us!

























One of Grandma's specialties is Zucchini bread. Her's is just the best ever. It is very moist and yummy! I thought you might like to have this wonderful recipe.

Grandma's Zucchini Bread

In the blender or food processor mix:

3 eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup cooking oil
2 cups grated zucchini
2 cups sugar

Puree this in blender or food processor.


In another bowl add:

3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 teaspoon cinnamon

Add wet mixture into dry ingredients, mix well by hand or with hand mixer. Divide into 2 loaf pans, Bake @ 350 for 55-60 minutes. If it browns quickly cover with foil at the end. Test with toothpick.

Note: Since you are going to puree the zucchini in the blender or food processor there is no need to remove the seeds. You can use the whole zucchini! Also, if you use the smaller foil loaf pans you can get 3 loafs from this recipe and the cooking time will be reduced by about 10 minutes.
