Ingredients
3-1/2 cups whole wheat flour1-3/4 cups sugar, preferably turbinado1 T. baking powder1 tsp. baking soda1-1/2 tsp. salt4 tsp. cinnamon6 eggs1 cup buttermilk6 cups shredded zucchini1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted in oven for 3 minutes at 350
Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Cut wax paper to fit the bottom of three 4'x8' bread pans. Spray pans with non-stick spray. Place wax paper in bottoms of pans and spray again. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In another bowl whisk together eggs and buttermilk. When you have zucchini shedded and nuts chopped and toasted, mix egg mixture into dry mixture. Mix only partially. Add zucchini and nuts and gently mix until combined. You don't want to overmix or bread will be a little tough, Divide into pans. Bake at 350 for about 50 minutes or until done. Makes 3 loaves. I cut them into 12 pieces each for a total of 36 servings.

    Originally I made this recipe using white flour and it was awful. So I made another batch using whole wheat flour and it was great. The whole wheat bread makes the recipe. Thanks for sharing. - 8/2/08

    The original recipe had 1 cup of oil. I replaced it with buttermilk and I couldn't tell any difference as long you're carfull not to overmix. It's a very moist bread. It's not overly sweet, so if you prefer it sweeter, just put in 2 cups of sugar. It only raises the calories a little.
