Zucchini Walnut Bread

Recipe from Banu’s Cookbook

Ingredients:
1 cup chopped walnuts
4 eggs
2 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups grated zucchini
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method:

In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Gradually beat in sugar, then oil.
Seive together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder.
Add flour mixture alternately with zucchini into the egg mixture.
Stir in the walnuts and vanilla.

Pour batter into two 9 x 5 inch greased and lightly floured loaf pans.
Bake on lowest rack of the oven at 350 degrees F for 55 minutes. Let cool for 10
minutes in the pan, then turn out onto racks to cool completely.

To freeze, wrap loaves in plastic wrap, and then wrap in heavy freezer paper.
