the best early springtime snack


Zucchini bread + a citrus rainbow is deliciously the way to go

I will be so sad when break is over!! I need another week!

Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread

-2 peeled and shredded zucchini
-2 eggs
-3 T vegetable or canola oil
-1 t. vanilla
-3/4 c. brown sugar
-3/4 c. whole wheat flour
-3/4 c. all purpose flour
-3/4 t. salt
-1 t. baking soda
-1/4 t. baking powder
-1 t. cinnamon
-1/4 t ground cloves, or any other spices you like (nutmeg, ginger??)
-1/4 c. chopped nuts if your boyfriend isn't a hater.
Preheat oven to 350*. Spray or grease a loaf pan.
Whisk together eggs, oil, sugar, vanilla, and zucchini
In a separate bowl stir together the flours, salt, baking soda, powder, cinnamon, spices, and nuts
Add the zucchini mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the pan, slice, and enjoy!

Leftover bread is really good toasted.
