BREAD, QUICK: Orange-flavored Zucchini Bread
Submitted by beachdee on April 24, 2004 at 9:25 pm

I got this recipe out of a book from the Library (I obviously never thought I'd be needing to quote sources on these) and I've added a few mods of my own. It is my FAVORITE quick bread (I think...I do like mango bread, and then there's my mom's banana bread...oh well)

• 1 1/2 cups white flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt or 1/4 tsp regular salt
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger (I think finely chopped candied ginger would be good, too)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup walnut oil [sometimes I substitute some of the oil and egg with nonfat ricotta cheese, which makes it heavier and moister, but it's good just as written]
• 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini
• 1 tsp coarsely CHOPPED (not grated) orange peel
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts [or favorite nut]

1) Preheat oven to 375°F.

2) Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ginger together thoroughly.

3) In a medium-size bowl, beat the eggs, then add oil and grated zucchini. Stir in the dry ingredients, the orange peel (be sure to strip as much of the white stuff off the back of the peel as you can, and chop, not grate it) and the walnuts.

4) Put the batter into a buttered 9-inch loaf pan and bake in a preheated 375°F oven for about 50 minutes (test with wooden skewer). Let cool in the pan 5 minutes, then turn out onto rack to cool.

Spread the word
