PUMPKIN BANANA ZUCCHINI SPICE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Don't be afraid to leave the mixer in the cupboard! I always stir this up by hand w/ no trouble & I have rheumatoid arthritis.
• In large mixing bowl combine: eggs, milk, oil, applesauce, butter, sugars, pumpkin etc., vanilla. I usually give each ingredient a good stirring before adding the next one. Mix well.
• In separate bowl combine & mix dry ingredients. If you don't have a flour sifter, hold a whisk over measuring cup & sprinkle flour above it. It makes SO much difference to sift your flour. If you simply cannot do it, then cut flour back about 1/4 cup. Gradually add flour mix to first mixing bowl & beat together until smooth.
• Grease & flour 2 loaf pans & evenly divide batter among them. Bake for 50-60 minutes until toothpick test comes out clean. Allow to cool 15-20 minutes (If you can wait that long!) and invert pans to rack to complete cooling. You'll likely need to run knife around edges & tap or even bang on the bottom a bit to remove.
• Slice & Serve. Because it is such a moist bread, I always bag the 2nd loaf & hold it in the fridge until we finish the 1st loaf, just to guard against spoilage. I've heard it freezes lovely as well, but I've never made enough that it lasted long enough for me to try.
• Note: This will be my first try at posting a recipe, though I've been lurking & gleaning marvelous ones for ages on here. I'm from that sect of guard your recipes or don't give exact instructions, lol -- however, it occurred to me it was time to share back -- hope you all enjoy! -Oz.
