Zucchini Bread is a moist, flavorful quick bread made with grated zucchini, warm spices, and a touch of sweetness. Perfect as a snack or breakfast treat, it’s both comforting and deliciously satisfying.

Ingredients:
  • nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the loaf pans
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 3 cups grated zucchini
  • 1/2 cup frozen grated coconut, thawed
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1/4 cup maraschino cherries
Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease two 5-by-9-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Mix the sugar, oil and beaten eggs in a separate bowl and add to the flour mixture. Stir in the grated zucchini, coconut, nuts and cherries.
  3. Pour the batter into the loaf pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool for 10 minutes before removing the loaves from the pans. Turn the breads out onto wire racks to cool completely.
