I made this today. Even though I changed a buncha things, it still turned out really well! Travis LOVES it! I made 1 large loaf & 12 muffins. (I baked the muffins for 30 minutes)
1/2 the muffins are already gone! :) This is the kid who won't eat anything green, except for pesto. Heh. Mom - 1, Kid - 0 :)
Paula Deen's Zucchini Bread (with liberties taken by me to make it healthier)
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour(I used 1/2 whole wheat & 1/2 AP Flour)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg (I used about 1 1/2 t. freshly ground nutmeg)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I think I used 2 t. cinnamon)
3 cups sugar (I used 1 3/4 cups + 3 packets of Splenda)
1 cup vegetable oil (I used 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce & 1/2 c. oil)
4 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup water (I used a few tablespoons extra water, because of the Wheat Flour)
2 cups grated zucchini (I used about 2 1/2 cups, and squeezed out the excess moisture with my hands before adding)
1 teaspoon lemon juice (I didn't have any, so I used orange juice instead)
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (omitted, Travis hasn't had any nuts yet)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, nutmeg, baking soda, cinnamon and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine oil, eggs, water, zucchini and lemon juice. Mix wet ingredients into dry, add nuts and fold in. Bake in 2 standard loaf pans, sprayed with nonstick spray, for 1 hour, or until a tester comes out clean. Alternately, bake in 5 mini loaf pans for about 45 minutes
