Vintage Recipe: Zucchini Bread


You may be feeling like it's been all-zucchini, all the time around these parts lately, but it is the season for squash so I keep offering up the recipes. I plucked this one from my grandma Bunny's recipe card file. It's a fairly standard recipe (not as vintage as some of the others I've posted), although I do like the addition of the raisins. They were the one thing I thought was missing from the zucchini muffins I made earlier in the week. I also think that if I made this bread, I'd reduce the sugar (especially with a cup full of raisins), because 2 whole cups seems like an awful lot. If you want to make these lower fat, you could also use apple sauce in place of some or all of the oil.

I had been told you can't really taste the zucchini so I thought it would be a good way to work some veggies into my dessert. Boy, was I mislead; it tasted very strongly of zucchini. I would like to give it another shot since I am a big fan of sneaking extra fruits and veggies in wherever I can. Does anyone know of a way to avoid the zucchini flavor in baked goods?
