How to make zucchini bread.

Servings: 8.
Prep Time: 10 minutes.
Bake Time: 50-55 minutes.

1. Preheat your oven to 325 and prep a loaf pan well for nonstick. I like to use parchment paper that overhangs the sided of the pan and is lightly dusted with flour or sprayed with nonstick.
2. Grate your zucchini using the method of your choice. Then place the zucchini of a clean kitchen towel or stack of paper towels to drain the excess water while you work.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine the flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Next, in a large mixing bowl, use a clean whisk to combine together the sugar alternative, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Once they ingredients have been combined you can use a rubber spatula to fold in the grated zucchini.
5. Add the dry ingredients from the first mixing bowl to the large mixing bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Then fold in the chopped nuts.
6. Bake this bread in the center of your oven for 50-55 minutes or until the bread begins to turn brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Lastly, allow the bread to cool in the pan for at ten minutes before transferring to a wire rack to fully cool.
