BREADS




Fantastic Zucchini Bread

1-1/2 cups sugar
1 cup canola oil
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups shredded zucchini, unpeeled
1 cup chopped walnuts, optional
1 cup chocolate chips, optional

A couple of more optional items:
I added about 1 tablespoon of vital wheat gluten
roughly 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed
I had about 3 Ts of ground pinto beans in my wheat flour
(left over from grinding wheat for bread)

Combine in large bowl, sugar, oil eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
Add dry ingredients and blend thoroughly. Fold in zucchini and nuts until well incorporated.

Pour into 2 greased bread pans and bake for 60 minutes at 350.

Notes: The original recipe called for 2 cups of sugar,
but with the addition of the chocolate chips this was plenty sweet.
