Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 eggs beaten
1 1/3 c sugar
2 tsp vanilla
3 c grated fresh zucchini
2/3 c melted unsalted butter
2 tsp baking soda
pinch salt
3 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp nutmeg (my clan does not care for this, so it can be omitted)
2 tsp cinnamon
1 c chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
1 c dried cranberries ir raisins (optional)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350*F. In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix in the grated zucchini and then the melted butter.
2. Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour, a third at a time. Sprinkle in the cinnamon and nutmeg, and mix. Fold in the nuts and dried cranberries or raisins if using.
3. Divide the batter equally between two greased 5x9 inch loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour (check for doneness at 50 minutes) or until a wooden pick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
4. Cool in pans for 10 minutes. Turn out onto wire racks to cool completely. Makes 2 loaves :)
