Of course it's healthy! It has vegetables in it...

And a crap load of of sugar... and oh well there are veggies- let's focus on that. I have zucchini... a lot of zucchini. There are two random zucchini saying's that may help solve the mystery as to why I have SO many of the green gems.

Zucchinis terrific!
Like Bunnies... prolific!

The trouble is, you cannot grow just one zucchini.  Minutes after you plant a single seed, 
hundreds of zucchini will barge out of the ground and sprawl around the garden, 
menacing the other vegetables.  At night, you will be able to hear the ground quake
as more and more zucchinis erupt.-   Dave Barry

Now that you are all impressed by my vast garden saying knowledge- onward to the recipe! I wanted to make bread- but I only have one bread pan. So I opted for 12 muffins and one bread pan and the addition to another bread pan to my birthday list (August 30th- right around the corner!)

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour your pans.

Beat together 3 eggs with 1 c oil and 1 3/4 c sugar. Add in 2 c zucchini and 2 tsp vanilla extract.




Combine in another bowl 3 c flour, 4 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 3 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp salt. If you are a smart baker and didn't forget to purchase baking soda then in stead of 3 tsp baking powder, use 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp baking power.
Whoopsies!


Mix your wet and dry ingredients together. Your done! If you're feeling funky you can add in dried and nuts at your discretion.





Pour into your pans. Bake your muffins for 20 minutes and your bread for 60 minutes.



So pretty! And so yummy! Love the pumpkin pie spice as opposed to the regular cinnamon most recipes call for.



There are those veggies!

This more or less goes without saying but these do not taste like the zucchini AT ALL. It just serves to make them so moist and delicious. If i were to make these again I would not make the bread- just the muffins. These were tastier and the bread was really crumbly. The muffins were gone in about 2 days but the bread lingered and was begrudgingly eaten over the next week and a half.
