Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1/2 c vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 cups grated zucchini, squeezed of excess moisture
• 1 1/2 cups ground pecans or walunts

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.

Whisk together first four ingredients. Blend the next 5 ingredients in a bowl. Stir in the dry ingredients. Blend in the zucchini and nuts with a few swift strokes. Scrape the batter into the greased pan. Bake until the bread pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 45 min. Cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes before unmolding to cool completely on the rack.
