It just wouldn't be summer with out some of my favorite Southern Zucchini Bread. Today was the first day I finally had enough of the veggie to make the bread recipe. It has been a dry late summer and we desperately need rain. Rather then having buckets of zucchini and squash this year from my garden I have only pulled a hand full.
Here is my recipe that is a crowd pleaser at any breakfast table.
Southern ( healthy) Zucchini Bread
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup egg substitute
1/3 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 cups shredded zucchini (12 ounces)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted
Cooking spray
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°.
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients (through baking soda) in a large bowl.
Combine egg substitute and next 4 ingredients (through egg) in a large bowl; add sugar, stirring until combined. Add zucchini; stir until well combined. Add flour mixture; stir just until combined. Stir in walnuts.
Divide batter evenly between 2 (8 x 4-inch) loaf pans coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pans on a wire rack; remove from pans. Cool completely on wire rack.
Yield
2 loaves, 12 servings per loaf (serving size: 1 slice)

I can smell the bread baking, Bren! My kitchen has been filled with my Zucchini Pie recipe (a soon post) ;)
Thank you so much for your comment! You have a beautiful blog with beautiful photos! This zucchini bread sounds delicious! Don't look at my blog post about zucchini bread, you will gain weight just reading it.
About your question, I love all kinds of flowers especially easy ones. I loved those geraniums because during the "in between" periods of blooming the leaves are attractive and interesting. If you look at the photo collage in the banner of my blog the very first picture is a geranium leave!
Thank you so much your comment made my day!
