Grandma LaCelle Southwick's Zuchinni Bread

This is also great as banana bread - just substitute bananas in place of the zuchinni.

3 eggs
1 c oil
2 c sugar
2 c zuchinni
2 tsp. vanilla

3 c flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
3 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c chopped nuts (opt.)

Beat eggs until light and foamy. Add oil, sugar, zuchini and vanilla. Mix all dry ingredients together and add to liquid mixture. Mix with electric mixer until batter is smooth. Add nuts. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, or until top is dark brown and sides have pulled away from the pan. Let sit in pans for 5-10 min and then remove from pans to cool.

Notes: I mostly make banana bread with this recipe and find that it turns out better to bake the loaves at 335 degrees for 1 hour.
