Zucchini Bread

Zucchini bread (or courgette bread, but lets face it, zucchini just sounds nicer) is a lovely, sweet but not too sweet bread or cake that can even be made into muffins (just adjust the time). It's so easy to make and it just tastes so good you're gong to have some restraint as to not eat the whole thing! Not too mention an extra vegetable in your day wont hurt! I got this recipe from a friend, who in turn, got it from a family member, and I can't thank her enough for this amazing, soft, tasty piece of deliciousness!


Prep time: 15 minutes     Cook time: 35-40 minutes     
Makes: 2 loaves     Calories: 150 per slice

Ingredients

402g/14.2oz of sugar
250ml/1 cup of oil
170g/6oz of shredded zucchini (one medium-ish zucchini)
3 eggs
256g/9oz flour
3tsp of vanilla extract
1tsp baking soda
1tsp baking powder
1tsp cinnamon powder
1tsp salt 

This recipe is so easy! Begin with preheating your oven to 190 degrees Celsius or roughly around 374 degrees Fahrenheit, then put all of your ingredients (except the shredded zucchini) into a large bowl and mix them together with an electric whisk, I usually mix the ingredients together a little without turning it on first so I don't get a huge cloud of powder everywhere! 

Then once it's all mixed together add in your shredded zucchini and fold it in with a spatula until it's evenly distributed and you're done! 

I told you this was easy ;) Then spray some oil lightly on the inside of two loaf tins and divide your mixture into each one. Pop into the oven and keep an eye on them until a toothpick or knife comes out clean (but don't keep opening the door!). Wait for around 20 minutes until cool and then push them out onto a plate and enjoy!
