Zucchini Macadamia Nut Bread

---

Ingredients: 

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 Tbsp NHHS Ground Cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp NHHS Nutmeg
• 1 cup MOV Extra Virgin Olive Oil + a tablespoon for greasing pan
• 1-1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp NHHS Vanilla Extract
• 3 eggs
• 2-1/2 cups grated zucchini
• 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Liberally grease a 9" loaf pan with some EVOO. Set aside briefly.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In a separate large bowl, combine the olive oil, sugars, vanilla and eggs until blended.

Gradually add the flour mixture until just barely combined.

Slowly fold in the zucchini and nuts. NOTE: You do NOT want to over-mix the batter as this will lead to tough bread.

Spoon the batter evenly among the pan(s).

Bake for approx. 50-60 minutes or until the top is light golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist - not wet - crumbs.

Cool before serving.
​​Enjoy!
