Cinnamon Sugar Zucchini Bread

When I make this recipe Jordan, my husband, takes his first bite of the tender warm sugar cinnamony bread, closes his eyes and says: this is my childhood. I'm always fascinated by how our senses take us back in time like a time machine. We transport to a different decade, another place, and we experience a piece of our past. I love that food can do that. This is a recipe that my sweet mother in law made in her house every week for her three hungry boys. Jordan remembers eating this sandwich style with butter in the middle for lunch and grabbing a slice after school before running to the backyard. It is truly the best zucchini bread I've ever tasted. Really, the Best! The cinnamon spice with the perfect amount of sweetness complements the mild flavor of the zucchini. I always feel good eating it and giving it to my children since there is a vegetable in it! I know you and your family will fall in love with this bread. I usually make two batches when I have a lot of zucchini and keep a loaf in the freezer for a rainy day. Enjoy and create a taste of home with your family today.

Made with Amore,

Elena

Ingredients

Wet mixture

3 eggs

1cup oil

1 cup sugar

3 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (yes, that much!)

Dry mixture

2 ½ cups flour

3 teaspoon cinnamon (yes, that much!)

¼ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

Zucchini

2 Cups of grated zucchini

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray one large loaf pan or two smaller loaf pans with cooking spray
2. Beat eggs in an electric mixer until foamy (this helps in the rising of the bread)
3. Add the oil, sugar and vanilla and mix well
4. Sift the dry ingredients together and add to the wet ingredients. Mix until combined (do not overmix)
5. Fold in grated zucchini until incorporated
6. Pour mixture into prepared loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 50-60 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

Eat warm with a thick slather of butter! This bread freezes well if kept in a ziplock bag.
