Zucchini bread

3 eggs

1 cup vegetable oil (or 1 cup of applesauce which is what I use)

2 cups white sugar

2 cups grates zucchini (I usually use about 2.5 or 3 cups)

2 tsp vanilla

3 cups flour

3 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional, of course)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour two 8x4 inch loaf pans. (Sometimes I sprinkle extra white sugar on the bottom of the pans which makes a nice sugary crust.)

In large bowl, beat eggs until light and frothy. Mix in oil (applesauce) and sugar. Stir in zucchini and vanilla. In a separate bowl combine flour, cinnamon, soda, baking powder, salt and nuts; stir into the egg mixture. Divide batter into prepared pans.

Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until done.
