Found another recipe I need to try…Zucchini Cookies! I have to use up all the zucchini I was given. We will see how they turn out. My mom found this recipe with version of Zucchini Bread that she makes, however I used a different version I found in her stash of old recipes. By the way I typed all these old recipes back when I was younger on a typewriter. Remember those things? When I started typing them, it was on a children’s typewriter. Then later on my parents bought an electric typewriter. It had a correction tape to fix all your mistakes so you didn’t have to make a mess with the liquid white-out. We thought that was advanced at the time. ahhh..nostalgia!
Anyway, here is the recipe that I used for my zucchini cupcakes the other day:
Zucchini Nut Bread
4 eggs
3/4 tsp. baking powder
2 cups sugar
2 cups zucchini (shredded)
1 cup oil
1 cup chopped nuts
3 1/2 cups flour
1 cup raisins
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
Mix the eggs. Add the sugar and oil. Mix well. Mix together the dry ingredients. Add the egg mixture and the zucchini a little at a time to the dry ingredients. Add the raisins and the nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 min.
Of course, I was in too much of a rush to make the cupcakes, that I forgot to check the pantry for all the ingredients. I only had one cup of sugar, so I substituted 3/4 cup of my dad’s maple syrup in place of the second cup of sugar. I also didn’t have nuts or raisins, so I just left them out. Since I was making cupcakes instead of a bread I decreased the baking time to about 20 min. All in all it worked out well. They came out tasty.
