UPDATE: Left the amount of sugar out of the recipe. It is 2 c. and the ingredient list has been corrected. Thanks to the commenter who alerted me about this.
Here is a nice quick bread to spread with any sweet butter idea I posted yesterday This is another recipe that appeared in at least two Farm Journal Cookbooks. It uses vegetable oil so I don’t have to remember to soften butter when I want to make it.
I prefer fresh, grated zucchini for making this. I am not sure what my problem is, but I have not had great success in using frozen zucchini when baking. Any one have the secret, let me know.
The recipe makes two 8 1/2x4 1/2x2 1/2-inch loaves. I only have 9x3-inch loaf pans so my bread is a little squat. I highly suggest lining the pans with foil and greasing and flouring the foil for this bread.
