Because you can never grow just a little zucchini! This aromatic quick-bread is addictive. I prefer using zucchini, but you can substitute carrot to make carrot nut bread.

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1-3/4 cups sugar

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 2 cups coarsely shredded zucchini, firmly packed

  3. Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, soda, sugar and cinnamon.
  4. Stir in the pecans.
  5. Add all the remaining ingredients to flour mixture and stir just until dry ingredients are uniformly moistened.
  6. Divide batter between the two prepared loaf pans.
  7. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a wooden pick or cake tester inserted in center of loaf comes out clean.
