Taura’s zucchini bread and tea
(First, a little genealogy, I am sister to Maya’s mother Kathleen, I am mother to Taura, Kristi and Brian.)
Ahhh, behold, the prolific zucchini! Funny after all these years I still love this versatile vegetable, be it grilled, baked, stir fried, stuffed or made into a dessert! Today I am posting dessert….This makes one loaf of bread.
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1/4 cup candied lemon peel (optional)
1 T lemon zest
1 1/2 cups flour
2 T baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/2 t nutmeg
1 cup grated zucchini
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1. Beat sugar and oil until blended, beat in eggs.
2. Stir in sifted dry ingredients then add zucchini and any optional ingredients.
3. Pour into greased loaf pan and bake at 375 degree oven for about 40-45 min. Test for doneness by putting knife into center, when it comes out clean, it is done. Cool 15 min before cutting. I have made multiple loaves and put into freezer for later. Great for breakfast, afternoon coffee, or just because.
