Mom's Zucchini Bread

My mother never liked to cook and so I don't have many recipes from her.  This is one of only two recipes I have gotten from her.   It has sugar and honey in it so it isn't totally healthy but I thought I would include it since we got a bunch of zucchini today at the Food Bank.

Mom's Zucchini Bread

3 eggs (or egg replacere to equal 3 eggs)
1 Cup brown sugar
1/2 Cup honey
1 cup canola oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
3 cups freshly ground whole wheat flour (or the whole wheat flour, already ground, that we got last week)
3 Tablespoons wheat gluten (only needed with the fresh ground whole wheat flour - it helps it to rise)
2 Cups zucchini --grated

Beat eggs (or reconstituted egg replacer).  Add brown sugar,  honey, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, sea salt, baking soda, baking powder, whole wheat flour, gluten and zucchini.  Mix well.  Oil and flour 4 small loaf pans or spray with lecithin spray). 

Fill pans with equal amounts of dough.  Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes. 

Variations: 
1. add one cup walnuts or pecans
2. Add 1 cup dates
3. Add 1 cup raisins
4. Add 1 cup shredded carrots
