Oat & Flax Zucchini Bread

If you want to try some really really good bread that's super good for you, definitely try this bread. Sydney (Jess' little girl) calls this "brownie bread," not because it tastes like brownies, but because it's yummy just like brownies are. So here's the recipe:

Oat & Flax Zucchini Bread
1 c canola oil
2 and 3/4 c. sugar
5 eggs
1 and 1/2 Tbl vanilla
3 c. shredded zucchini
1 and 1/2 c oat bran
1 and 1/2 c flax meal
1 c whole wheat flour
1 c white flour
1/2 Tbl baking soda
1/2 Tbl salt
1 and 1/2 Tbl cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 c chopped nuts (I use pecans)

Directions:
Combine everything except the nuts. Pour into greased pans, and then sprinkle with nuts. Bake at 350. You can make two regular size loaves and bake it for 45-60 minutes. Or you can use a cookie sheet (10x15) and bake for 30-40 min. Or you can use one 9x13 and one 8x11 and bake
for 30-35 minutes. It all depends on if you want thick bread, or bread that is more like bars. Whichever way you do it, it is DELICIOUS! Enjoy!

1 1/2 c soft butter
2 c white sugar
