Auntie Shirleys Zucchini Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 325 F.
• Grease and flour 2 5x9 loaf pans or 4 mini loaf pans.
• Shred the zucchini into thin strips either by hand or a food processor attachment.
• Press the zucchini dry by putting it in a strainer and press down (in the sink or outside) with a few paper towels until the towels don't really absorb much more water. (This is so the zucchini absorb the ingredients rather than make the bread mushy with all their water).
• In a large mixing bowl mix sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla and zucchini.
• Sift (the sifting is important!) flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices (sometimes I add more of the spices if I'm making the loaf for me).
• Add dry mixture to wet zucchini mixture and beat with a fork until well blended.
• Fold in chopped nuts.
• Pour into the loaf pans.
• Bake at 325 F for 1 hour, or 45 min if you're using mini loaf pans.
• Check every 20 minutes for doneness with a toothpick or knife. I like it when its just starts to get crispy on top, but still has a little shine to it.
• Cool 20 minutes in pans on a rack, then remove from pans.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two loaf pans.
• Combine flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and baking powder in a medium bowl and mix together. Set aside.
• Cream sugar, butter, oil, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, until mixed. Mix the dry ingredients slowly into the sugar mixture on medium speed until incorporated. Gently add chocolate chips, zucchini, and walnuts with a spoon. Pour batter equally into the prepared loaf pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into each loaf comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Don't overcook.

Steps:

• Cream sugar and oil. Add eggs, zucchini and vanilla. Add mixture of dry ingredients.
• Spoon into greased loaf pans.
• Bake 1 hr at 325 degrees F.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the oil, applesauce, sugars and vanilla; beat until blended. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the zucchini, apples and pecans.
• Transfer to three 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. loaf pans coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees F for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
