Zucchini Bread

3 eggs
1 cup oil
2 cups sugar
3 tsp vanilla
2 cups grated zucchini
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
3 cups flour
chopped nuts (optional)

Mix all ingredients. Grease and flour 2 large loaf pans. Bake at 325 for 60-70 minutes. Check for doneness by using a toothpick. Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes. Run knife around edges and dump out onto rack to cool.

*for some extra sweetness sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon and sugar on the dough before baking in the oven. It makes a yummy crispy crust on the top
