So yesterday started out as I thought it would and then there was mud in my house. Therefore leaving me to clean it up. So any hopes of exercise went out the window as Fridays are short days so I didn't have time. Instead I decided to use the zukes that have been staring me down for the past few weeks. I made some oh so good blueberry zucchini bread. It was delish! So normally when I bake I try to share it so that I don't eat it all myself. In comes the dilemma. Do I share this very tasty bread with my friend, who is probably on a diet because she is my walking partner, thus probably ruining her nutrition choices for the day or perhaps two days because it is just that good, or do I keep this to myself? Well, if I were a good friend I wouldn't try to tempt her I would support her in her goals so guess what I chose...? He, he, he. I really am trying to be a good friend so if you're reading this...it tasted good but aren't you so glad that I didn't give you any that would tempt you? Luv you! :D But so that I am not being entirely selfish, I'll give you the recipe so that you can make your own decision.
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups white sugar
- 2 cups shredded zucchini
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pint fresh blueberries
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 4 mini-loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar. Fold in the zucchini. Beat in the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Gently fold in the blueberries. Transfer to the prepared mini-loaf pans.
- Bake 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes in pans, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
I tallied up the miles this week and it isn't bad I guess. It's better than nothing I suppose. 12.69 miles my first week out of the gate is not too shabby. Hoping next week will be better!
