And don?t? forget these two great recipes from jglass:
Apple Butter Zucchini Bread
I made this tonight when I made the orange recipe I posted under the cake section. I made the orange for us and this one to take to my FIL. I used apple butter and the extra cinnamon and nutmeg. It came out wonderful.
I baked it in a 9x13 pan.
Mix:
3 eggs
2 c. sugar
1 c. apple butter OR apple sauce
2 c. grated Zucchini
1 tsp. vanilla
In another bowl mix:
3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
*IF you are using apple sauce and NOT apple butter than add
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp cinnamon
Add dry ingredients to wet and stir well. You can add 1/2 c. nuts if you want.
Add to 2 greased bread loaf pans and bake 325 for 1 hour.
