Best Zucchini Bread

Our Favorite Zucchini Bread

from my friend Mitzi Luke ♥

Makes 2 loaves

3 eggs

1 cup oil*

2 cups sugar 

2 cups peeled, grated zucchini

3 tsp vanilla

3 cups flour

3 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

Cinnamon Streusel topping:

5 Tbs melted butter (or just softened)

2/3 cup flour

2/3 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Beat eggs, oil, and sugar together, then add zucchini and vanilla. Stir dry ingredients together and then add to previous mixture just until mixed in (don’t overbeat) Pour into 2 well oiled loaf pans.

To make streusel topping: Mix ingredients until mixture is moist and crumbly. Sprinkle topping on top of batter and bake at 325° for 55 minutes-1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean.

* you may substitute applesauce for some or all of the oil. I usually add 1 cup of applesauce and 1/8 to 1/4 cup of oil.
