ZUCCHINI BREAD, INSPIRED BY BILL KNAPP’S
By Gloria Pitzer, as seen in… Secret Knock-Off Recipes (Secret RecipesTM, Marysville, MI; Nov 1996, p. 35)
INGREDIENTS:
9-oz box yellow cake mix
1 small box (4-serving size) instant vanilla pudding powder
1 cup grated, unpeeled zucchini
¼ cup oil
2 eggs
1 cup broken walnuts
½ cup orange juice
½ tsp cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg
INSTRUCTIONS:
In medium bowl, stir together first three ingredients. Set aside. Into blender, put rest of ingredients. Blend briefly, just to combine. Pour over dry mixture. With electric mixer, on medium speed, combine until all dry stuff has been moistened…
Divide batter equally between three, greased, 1-lb (miniature), foil, loaf pans; placing these on cookie sheet, 1” apart so heat can circulate evenly around pans. Bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes or until “tester” inserted in center of loaves comes out clean.
Cool in pans, on racks, for 1 hour. Refrigerate loaves in sealed food bags to slice after 4 hours – not before! Freeze [sliced bread] to use in a few months. [Makes 3 small loaves.]
