Zucchini Bread

Delish!

Zucchini Bread:
*2 1/4 cups flour
*2 tsp. cinnamon
*1/8 tsp. ground cloves (didn't have them - omitted them)
*1/2 tsp. salt
*1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
*1/2 cup canola oil
*3/4 cup white sugar
*1/2 cup brown sugar
*3 eggs
*2 tsp. vanilla
*zest from one large orange (wasn't interested in this, so again, omitted it)
*1/2 cup sour cream
*3 cups grated zucchini (I did this in my food processor and it was so fast)

Topping:
*2 tbsp. white sugar
*2 tbsp. brown sugar
*1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two loaf pans and set aside.

Combine flour, cinnamon, cloves, salt and baking soda in a bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.

Beat eggs, oil, sugars and vanilla for 30 seconds. Add sour cream and orange zest and beat to combine. Mix in zucchini.

Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Divide batter between 2 pans. Sprinkle topping evenly over tops. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until inserted knife comes out clean. 

Make sure to let the loaf rest on a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes before trying to get it out of the pan or it will come out in chunks. Enjoy.
