I was going to take a photo – but it’s all gone! I tried this recipe recently and loved it. I made a few necessary adjustments: I only had 2 eggs so I subbed a banana and an extra 1/2 tsp baking soda. I didn’t have all spice so I added some nutmeg and cardamom. I thought the cinnamon was a little overpowering so I’ll use less next time. I used macadamia nut oil instead of vegetable oil, which has a lovely flavour. A lot of the moisture in the mix comes from the zucchini.

Ingredients

2 cups of plain flour

1 cup wholemeal flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp bicarb soda

2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp all spice

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 cup of vegetable oil

2 tsp vanilla essence

2 cups of grated zucchini

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C and grease a loaf tin
  2. Sift the flours, baking sodas, and spices into a large bowl. Add the sugar.
  3. In a jug whisk the eggs, oil and vanilla until thick. Add to the dry ingredients along with the zucchini and mix until will combined.
  4. Bake for 1 hour or until the a skewer comes out clean.

Serve with butter if desired.
