Zucchini Bread - Betty Crocker 1996

"This recipe is tried and true,infact I've used it for over a dozen years. Terrific to help get rid of that bumper crop of zucchini out in the garden. I will even shred the zuchinni and freeze it in ziplocks for the winter time when I go on my baking sprees. The spices really make this recipe, thanks to the cinnamon and cloves. Enjoy!!!"

  1. I need to substitute all purpose flour with almond flour. What will the ratio be and do I need to add an extra egg?

  1. I have been using this recipe for years from the first cookbook that I ever owned, my Betty Crocker's Big Red Cookbook from high school home economics class. I grease all sides of loaf pan with shortening and dust with flour to prevent sticking. Although I enjoy Zucchini Bread with raisins and walnuts, I make it for my father without either (he detests raisins and has a nut allergy). It is delicious both ways. I recommend tightly wrapping the uncut, fully-cooled loaf in plastic wrap and aluminum foil and allowing it to set for 3 days at room temperature to combine flavors and increase moistness (the resting period really improves the taste and texture of the Zucchini Bread.) Then, store it in the refrigerator. Thank you, Johnsdeere, for posting this wonderful recipe from my favorite cookbook!

  5. These are so yummy! I had a few zucchini's and my children don't like it for dinner so I tried this recipe. To make it more kid friendly I finely chopped the zucchini in the food processor, made mini muffins instead of loaves, and fed it to them in a dark room while they were watching t.v. so they wouldn't see the green specs. I also changed the name to "Really Yummy Muffins". They were wise to me when they turned the lights on but the muffins were gone by the next day and they were asking for more. Thanks for posting!

I'm always on the look out for new tried and true recipes and love to share the recipes that I enjoy making. Growing up as a child my mom taught me how to cook/bake and I later entered food competitions at our local fair. I hope to some day share my love of cooking with my children. I love to cook casseroles..I'm not a huge fan of meat but will toss it in casseroles for my meat and potato husband. :)
