Notes about Zucchini Bread

Ok...so the bread...I found this recipe years ago on the Taste of Home website. You cannot find it there now...trust me...I've searched many times because at many times during the years, I've lost the recipe card for this...and I've gone nuts looking for it...only to not be able to...some how though, when I least expected it, the recipe card shows up. The last time, I found it while unpacking. You would think after losing this recipe so many times, I would have made this the first recipe on here...but no...I didn't...that would make sense.

I love this recipe because it has baking powder, but no baking soda. I've found that in breads, baking soda adds a strange...baking soda like flavor. Plus, I love this recipe because you can make it into two loaves, which seem more dense...or make it into one nice fluffy loaf.

PLEASE NOTE...when attempting this recipe...IT TAKES ABOUT AN HOUR AND HALF to make one big loaf...trust me...I just made six of these...and it took that long to make each one...I staggered and at one point, had four going at once...

I make these breads for aunts, uncles, grandparents, friends around the holidays. I prefer to make the applesauce version...tastes good...less oil...but I do make this AlOT for us during the year too. the kids just love this recipe.
