Ingredients
The following ingredients have 30 Servings
- 6 small zucchini (approximately 5 1/2 cups shredded)
- 3 1/2 cups light brown sugar (packed)
- 2 cups light olive oil (not extra virgin (this makes a big difference))
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 6 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole wheat flour (I used freshly ground hard white wheat)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 4 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 cups walnuts (chopped and divided – set aside 1/2 cup)
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grate zucchini and then press most of the water out with a towel. Combine the oil, sugar, vanilla and eggs. Whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and the spices. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined. Stir in the grated zucchini and then the nuts.
- Grease loaf pans and then pour batter into them as evenly as possible. Very lightly sprinkle the additional nuts on top of the loaves. If you have too many nuts on top, it will cause the bread to fall slightly. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into loaf comes out clean or with crumbs. Enjoy!
