Grandma Poe’s Zucchini Bread

An old Kentucky boy called this “the best zucchini bread he ever did eat.” High compliments indeed.

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

3 tsp cinnamon
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

I do not use nuts because I have a 1-year-old who eats it. When he gets old enough to eat nuts, they will go back into the bread. Any pecans or walnuts will work just fine.

A use olive oil a lot but I do not like to use olive oil in my baking – I’ve never liked the taste. But a lot of people prefer the health benefits of olive oil over canola or safflower oil. Olive oil would work in this recipe just fine.
