Mini Q's Zucchini Bread

After weeks of not baking, we're back in the swing of things! Mini Q was excited to help out. This was his first time!


Mom's Zucchini Bread
3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 1/4 cups white sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)


Prepare two 8 x 4 inch pans. Preheat oven to 325 F.

Sift flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl.

Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture and beat well. Stir in zucchini and nuts until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans.


Bake for 40 to 60 minutes or until tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes. Remove bread from pan and cool completely.

From South Korea with love

We received a very thoughtful package from Sophia and the Quatchi clan at QuatchiFan2010 a few weeks ago. Check out all the cool stuff! Q will not take off his new swimming trunks. I'll definitely put the muffin cups to good use too! Thanks again, friends!
