Zucchini Bread: Solar Cooking Recipe

Zucchini Bread, a solar cooking recipe, is a perfect treat or dessert, served warm with a cup of coffee or hot tea.

My sister loved zucchini bread. She would always have a loaf ready to serve when visitors came over. But I didn’t like it. I knew I wouldn’t like it. And so I never even tried it. Why? Well it was made from zucchini. And in my childish brain, I just knew that it couldn’t be any good. I must also admit that at the time, I also didn’t like pumpkin bread, carrot cake, etc. I’m sure you get the picture. But I was so very wrong! Eventually I grew up, and moved away from home. One sneaky day, my mother sent me and my new husband a care package of goodies. In it were two very delicious loaves of (unlabeled) quick bread which I thought were banana bread. When I asked for the recipe, I found one was her recipe for pumpkin bread and the other was my sister’s recipe for zucchini bread. I have loved it ever since.

I baked my Zucchini Bread in an All American Sun Oven for 1 1/2 hours at 300 degrees F. The time it takes to cook in a solar oven will vary depending on the type of oven, the weather and how focused the cooker is to the sun.
