Squash Bread

 

Zucchini can be used in place of the squash.

I have made it with both.

 

1 1/2 cs. flour, unsifted

2 tsps. cinnamon

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

2 eggs

3/4 c. sugar

1/2 c. oil

2 tsps. vanilla

1 1/3 cs. summer squash, coarsely shredded, lightly packed

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease a 9- by 5 by 3 inch loaf pan.

Mix dry ingredients except sugar thoroughly.

Beat eggs until frothy.

Add sugar, oil, and vanilla.

Beat until lemon colored, about 3 minutes.

Stir in squash.

Add dry ingredients.

Mix just until dry ingredients are moistened.

Pour into loaf pan.

Bake 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean.

Cool on rack.

Remove from pan after 10 minutes.

Makes 1 loaf.
