I made this last week and thought it was really good. I think you could vary this recipe also by adding chopped nuts, vanilla extract, and/or spices like cinnamon, etc. Maybe even some well-drained crushed pineapple? But it's definitely good "as is".

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 eggs -- slightly beaten
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 t. orange zest
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
3/4 cup orange juice
2 cups finely shredded unpeeled zucchini
1 cup shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 350.

Grease two 8x4x2-inch loaf pans (9 inch loaf pans are a little too big).

In a medium bowl, combine eggs, sugar, oil, and orange peel.

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add flour mixture and orange juice alternately to egg mixture. Stir just until combined after each addition.

Stir in zucchini and coconut.

Spoon batter into prepared pans.

Bake in a 350 degree oven about 55 minutes. Cool bread in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely on wire racks.

Wrap and store bread overnight before slicing (yeah, right!).

Makes 2 loaves (32 slices)

Thanks Linda! I've got another giant out in my garden just waiting to be shredded! I'll get to work on it today, and I think I just may try the crushed pineapple... I love that in bread.
