ZUCCHINI-OAT BREAD

1 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 1/2 flour
1 cups rolled oats
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
3 eggs
1 cup applesauce
1/4 cup butter melted
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups shredded, unpeeled zucchini
1 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup raisins (optional)

PREHEAT oven to 350 and lightly coat a 9x5x3 loaf pan with cooking stray.

Combine 1 tbl of the sugar and 1/4 tsp of the cinnamon, set aside.
Combine flour, oats, baking poder, salt, baking soda and remaining cinnamon, set aside
In a large mixing bowl, best eggs with electric mixer on medium speed for two minutes or until foamy.
Add remaining sugar, the applesauce, butter, vanilla. Gradually add the flour mixture, beating on low speed until just combines. Stir in zucchini, nuts and raisins. Spoon into pan and sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture

BAKE 1 hour & 20 min or until a wooden pick comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Removed from pan and cool completely. Wrap and store several hours before slicing.

I'm sure this is really rich...but it was very good. So at least once a fall when the neighbor's (or your own) zucchini have grown way too big...use this recipe for a very yummy zucchini bread. We all loved it.
