Zucchini Loaves

Tis the season of zucchini bludgeons. If you are so blessed, get baking.

Zucchini Loaves

Grate one large zucchini. Put the shreds in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture (I save it for soup stock).

Combine:
4 C shredded zucchini
2 C white flour
2 C whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 C melted butter
1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 C white sugar
1/2 C chopped or slivered nuts
3 eggs
5 t baking powder
1 t vanilla extract
1 t salt
1 t allspice
1 t cinnamon
1/2 ginger
1/2 t nutmeg

Spoon into 6 greased little loaf pans. Spoon 1/2 t pearl sugar on top of each loaf. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.
