Best Zucchini Bread EVER!

I love to bake and have tried tons of recipes for zucchini bread in the never-ending quest to sneak vegetables into my kids' diet. This recipe I found at www.allrecipes.com is by far the yummiest one yet. My 5 year old will eat it even though he can see "specks of green stuff" in it. That, in itself, is pretty amazing.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3 tsp ground cinnamon
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 1/4 cups white sugar
• 3 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups grated zucchini
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Grease & flour two 8x4 bread pans.
• Sift flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda & cinnamon together.
• In separate bowl, beat together eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla extract.
• Add sifted ingredients and beat well.
• Stir in zucchini and nuts (if you choose to use them) until mixed well.
• Pour batter into pans.
• Bake 40-60 min (usually closer to 60 in my experience), or until tester comes out clean.
• Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely.
• Eat a slice, save a little for the kids, then wrap up the rest of the bread and run it to the neighbors because, if you don't, you will end up eating it ALL in a very short time. Not that I know this from personal experience :)

FYI, this recipe has a 5 star average rating out of 3,500 reviews, so I am not the only one that thinks this is delicious!
