Zucchini Bread

I didn’t expect much from this because it was my first try making this.  I don’t even know how Zucchini bread tastes like but this was AMAZING!!!!  These are going to be gone in a flash!

Sifted the dry ingredients.  This is why you ALWAYS sift.  Found a piece of the paper bag that held the flour in the flour… ew.

 

Grated 2 cups of zucchini.  This conviently worked out to 1 zucchini.

 

Add dry ingredients to wet.

 

Fold in zucchini and walnuts.

 

Pour into bread pan and/or muffin pans.   Add chocolate chips if you’d like.

This was SOOO MOIST!!  The chocolate chips were good but I could have done without.  One TERRIBLE thing I did do though – I misread and added baking powder instead of baking soda!  I just tried to scoop it out and added the soda.  Sigh, Janice needs to read the instructions sometimes :P   Please don’t make the same mistake as me!

Notes for next time
