Ugly Zucchini Bread!


This is not a foodie blog....there are some great ones out there that I could never compete with. Nonetheless, I had to share this. My very own recipe for a delicious, nutritious (if not very pretty) zucchini bread. I was so impressed with myself! This will be perfect to give a little fruit and veggie boost to Amber and Avery's breakfasts. Give it a shot--it's super easy, and your tastebuds will thank you.


Ingredients

3 c Zucchini puree

1 c sugar

2/3 c applesauce

2 tsp vanilla 

4 eggs

1 1/2 c quick oats

1 1/2 c flour

2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 c chopped nuts

1/2 c raisins


Directions:

Set oven to 350. Put oven rack on bottom setting so top of loaves will be in the center of the oven. 
Grease two 9" loaf pans. In a large bowl, mix zucchini, applesauce, vanilla, sugar, and eggs until well-blended.  Add remaining ingredients, except nuts and raisins. Mix well. Stir in nuts and raisins. Divide equally into loaf pans and bake for 1 hr 10 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before moving bread to cooling rack. Store in the fridge up to one week. Enjoy!
