How to Make Chelle's Zucchini Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease the bottoms only of your mini loaf pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and ½ cup (1 stick) softened shortening until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, then stir in 1 cup water and 2 cups grated zucchini.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Pour batter evenly into prepared mini loaf pans.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in pans for 5 minutes.
- Carefully run a knife or spatula around the edges of the loaves to loosen them.
- Remove loaves from pans and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, enjoy! Serve toasted with butter, cream cheese frosting, whipped cream with rum, or simply on its own.
