Zucchini Bread from Book Club

"Sophie's Zucchini Bread" from Allrecipes  (In case you want to read the reviews and tips)

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour (I used 1 c whole wheat)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 eggs
• 2 cups white sugar
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup vegetable oil (I used 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup greek yogurt...you could also use 1/2 applesauce, sour cream, plain yogurt, vanilla yogurt, etc)
• 3 cups grated zucchini (I squeezed most of the water out of the zucchini that I grated finely; I grated some finer and some thicker for more variation in texture)
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Sift together flour, salt, soda, cinnamon, baking powder.
3. Beat eggs. Add and mix well sugar, vanilla, and oil. Add zucchini to egg mixture. Add dry ingredients, mixing well. Stir in nuts if desired. Pour into 2 ungreased loaf pans. (I thought it was hard to get out - I would grease them!)
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour. (I thought mine was  little dry...maybe because of the fat free yogurt...if you substitute, watch the baking time and consider pulling it out a few minutes early)

ENJOY!
