Cucumber Nut Bread Recipe

Cucumber Nut Bread

Ingredients:

Cooking spray

2 cups peeled, seeded, and shredded cucumber

3 eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

2 cups white sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup coarsely chopped pecans

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp. ground cinnamon

1 tsp. baking soda

½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. baking powder

1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg

1/8 tsp. ground cloves

Preheat oven to 325.  Spray 2 5×9 inch loaf pans with cooking spray.

Place shredded cucumbers into a colander and let drain for about 30 minutes.

Stir eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, vanilla extract, drained cucumber, and pecans together in a large bowl.  Whisk flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, baking powder, nutmeg, and cloves in a separate smaller bowl.  Stir dry ingredients into the cucumber mixture until the batter is thoroughly combined.  Spoon batter into prepared loaf pans.

Bake loaves in the oven until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted comes out clean – 50 minute to an hour.  Let loaves cool in pans for about 10 minutes before removing from pans to finish cooling on wire racks.
