Zucchini Bread

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour (I used 2 cups all-purpose and 1 cup whole wheat flour)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2-1/4 cups white sugar
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups grated zucchini
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup dried cranberries or raisins

Grease and flour two 8x4 inch pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Sift flour, salt, baking soda, powder, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture and beat well. Blend in the zucchini. Stir in nuts and raisins until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes.
