Add oil, shredded zucchini and vanilla. Mix thoroughly. Variation: Zucchini Muffins. Pour into lined muffin pans. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool on rack. Good warm with butter. Variation: Zucchini bread. Divide batter into two greased loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour, 15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool on rack, then remove from pan and continue cooling on rack.

A suggestion: shredded too much zucchini? Sauté it with some chopped onion and some cherry tomatoes for a summery side dish.
