Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 cups flour, sifted (try 2 cups white flour, 1 cup whole wheat); 1 tablespoon toasted wheat germ (optional); 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1/4 teaspoon baking powder; 3 eggs; 1 cup brown sugar; 1 cup white sugar; 1 cup oil (a neutral oil, I use corn or soy oil-or use 1/2 oil, 1/2 applesauce); 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract; 2 cups zucchini, shredded, squeezed to remove excess liquid; 1 cup nuts (or raisins-good with both!); 1/2 cup light sour cream (or plain yogurt)

Servings: persons

3 cups flour, sifted (try 2 cups white flour, 1 cup whole wheat)
1 tablespoon toasted wheat germ (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup oil (a neutral oil, I use corn or soy oil-or use 1/2 oil, 1/2 applesauce)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups zucchini, shredded, squeezed to remove excess liquid
1 cup nuts (or raisins-good with both!)
1/2 cup light sour cream (or plain yogurt)

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Grease and flour well 2 bread loaf pans. I like to use 4 mini loaf pans for gifts.
3
Sift together the flour(s), wheat germ if using, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
4
In a separate bowl combine the eggs, brown sugar, white sugar, and oil.
5
Add the dry ingredients slowly to the egg mixture.
6
When thoroughly mixed, add the sour cream and vanilla.
7
Finally, mix in the shredded zucchini, nuts and/or raisins.
8
Pour the mixture into the two loaf pans (or mini pans).
9
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
10
If baking mini loaves, adjust time to about 50 to 60 minutes.
11
Use a toothpick placed in the center of the loaf to see if the loaves are done. The toothpick should be clean or just have a few crumbs on it.
12
Enjoy!
