Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 cup The Spicy Olive's medium extra virgin olive oil like our Picual
  • 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Liberally grease a 9" loaf pan with some EVOO. Set aside briefly.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate large bowl, combine the Melgarejo Picual, sugars, vanilla and eggs until blended. Gradually add the flour mixture until just barely combined -
  4. Slowly fold in the zucchini and nuts. You do NOT want to over-mix the batter as this will lead to tough bread. Spoon the batter evenly among the pan(s). Bake for approx. 50-60 minutes or until the top is light golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist - not wet - crumbs. Cool before serving.
