**Congratulations to the USA Pan Winners!**
When we lived in Colorado (age 3 to 5 for me), we had an amazing garden and an equally amazing next-door neighbor named Darla. She had several delicious zucchini recipes with my mom that we still make today.
When I first decided to make my own zucchini bread, I went to my trusty Betty Crocker Zucchini Bread Recipe, which I later made into muffins. The muffins, and the bread, are delicious. But it’s not quite like the zucchini bread I remember from my youth.
So I finally broke out the “Mom’s Zucchini Bread” recipe (which she’s quick to remind me is actually Darla’s). I’ve made a couple of minor updates to fit our new whole food lifestyle, but the heart of the recipe is the same.
And my kids went absolutely crazy for it, much like I remember my sister and I going crazy for our zucchini bread at that age. Great memories and a great recipe.
When I got the ingredients out for the recipe, I realized I was out of eggs, so I went vegan sort of inadvertently this time. I couldn’t be happier with the results.
Today is also the day to announce the winners of the USA Pan Giveaway. Congratulations to the winners!

Mom’s Zucchini Bread
Ingredients
3 cups flour or gluten-free flour
1 1/4 cups sucanat (or brown sugar)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (with flax eggs, the total will be 1 1/4 teaspoon)
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups shredded zucchini
1 cups chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins
1 tablespoons water
3 flax eggs or other egg substitute (3 tablespoons ground flax seed plus 9 tablespoons hot water and 3/4 teaspoons baking powder)
1 cup applesauce
Method

Preheat oven to 350. Mix together and put in loaf pans (2 small or 1 large). Hopefully in the beautiful USA Pan loaf pans you won!
Bake at 350 for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
The Results
The kids went insane for this bread…Bug asked for FIVE slices. With the protein and Omega 3s in the flax seed, it’s a pretty complete meal, too. So I was very excited that they loved it.
I really liked this bread too. It does taste a bit different with the flax seed “eggs,” and it’s not quite as sweet since I cut the sugar down from 2 cups. But I really love it. Strangely, I like it better when it cools down! The meat-eating hubby liked this tasty zucchini bread treat, too. That’s a big win, since he’s not as big a fan of zucchini as I am.

Yes, that’s an imprint of the USA Pan logo on the bottom of my bread! That’s how well the loaves come out of the pans! Awesome, right? |
