Zucchini is overtaking the kitchen!!!

Usually zuchinni is the dreaded thing that gets left on your porch here in Utah.  Since mine got eaten by the squash bugs this year I was glad to take some of my brothers off his hands.  I got three pretty large ones and went to work trying out new recipes. I found some not so good ones and some delicious ones.   

This one was great and used maple syrup instead of sugar.  

They were labeled  "Healthy" zuchinni muffins

1 2/3 c white whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

1 egg

1/2 c maple syrup

1/2 c milk

1/4 c coconut oil

1 tsp vanilla extract 

1 1/2 c grated fresh zuchinni

1/3 c rolled oats. 

Ok so I think I did a few things wrong that made them turn out super flat and cumbly.  I used whole wheat flour,  and I also used 1 c maple syrup by mistake.  ops that was an expensive mistake.   

 As you can see they came out flat as a pancake well have to do a round two of that recipe and do it right this time.  haha.  

Then the next one I did was just your classic zuchinni bread but it was labeled the best ever... 

3 cups flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

4 tsp cinnamon

3 1/2 c grated zuchinni

3 eggs

1/2 c apple sauce

1/2 c vegetable oil

2  1/4 c sugar

4 tsp vanilla extract

It turned out pretty good.  We ate both loafs within 2 days.  So I made another batch and it has lasted a little bit longer.  My daughter loves it which is a miracle because she is so picky.  This is great.  

Then after all of that cooking of course the dishes had to be done.  There was a whole other big stack to the side of this but it was well worth it.  I love trying out new recipes and they turn out.  I can add them to my book.
