Mable Clarke includes this zucchini bread among the treats that end the fish fry she started to save Soapstone Baptist Church in her South Carolina community. This recipe uses grated zucchini--it's easy to do with a food processor, but you can also use a box grater to do the job. While some recipes call for squeezing the water out of the zucchini after it's grated, don't--it's the secret to this quick bread's extra moistness.

  • Whisk eggs, sugar, oil, lemon zest and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.

  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth. Fold in zucchini and ground pecans (or pecan meal). Divide the batter into the prepared pans and smooth the tops.

  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour.

  • Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing, about 1 hour.
