Tasty Tuesday: Zany Zucchini Bread

[The Little Seed]

Mmmmm... this bread is more like cake! It's easy...it's delicious... and it's healthy! Zany Zucchini Bread comes straight from The Supernatural Kids Cookbook by Nancy Mehagian. We carry the book at our store and they fly off the shelves - stop by and pick up a copy or call us at to have a book shipped to your house (323.462.4441).

 

Here's what you'll need...

- preheated over at 325 degrees

- 2 eggs

- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

- 1 cup raw sugar

- 1 cup grated zucchini

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

 

Beat your eggs in a mixing bowl. Add oil, sugar, zucchini and vanilla and beat further. Add all the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nuts) and mix well with a spoon. Pour your new mixture into a greased loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean. These 50-60 minutes are a perfect opportunity to teach your little one about zucchini - how it belongs to the squash family, how although it's considered a vegetable it's also botanically known as an immature fruit, or how a zucchini has more potassium than a banana! Let the bread cool before cutting it or removing from pan. And then .....ENJOY!
