Zucchini Cinnamon Raisin Bread

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups Spelt or Whole Wheat Flour

1 cup Raisins
2 tsp. Cinnamon, ground
2 tsp. Baking Powder

Preparation

The zucchini cinnamon raisin bread can be baked in either a conventional oven at 350 degrees F. for about 25 minutes, or in a microwave oven in 10 minutes at 1000 watts.

If you don't have oat flour, you can grind rolled oats in a blender or food processor.  Or, if you grind your own grain as we do in our Vita-Mix, you can grind the spelt and oats together in the dry container.

Place the flour in a mixing bowl.  Add the cinnamon and raisins and mix together thoroughly, making sure that there are no raisin clumps, and that each raisin is coated with the flour mixture.

Wash and clean the zucchini, cut the ends off, and cut into 2 inch long pieces.  Place the pieces in the container of a high speed blender (Vita-Mix type).  If you are concerned that the finished volume may be more than 3 cups, hold back some of the zucchini.   Add the pitted dates, cover, and run the blender at high speed until the contents become a smooth puree of 3 cups in volume.  Additional zucchini, apple juice, or water can be added if the volume is less.

Lightly oil a two quart covered baking dish.

Add the baking powder to the flour mixture, and mix well.  Add the zucchini date puree and mix together thoroughly but quickly since the baking powder is beginning to react, and transfer the contents of the mixing bowl into the baking dish.  Smooth to the edges, cover and place in the oven to bake.  We baked this recipe in our microwave oven in 10 minutes.

When there are bubbles boiling up the sides of the zucchini bread and the surface is springy to the touch, remove the zucchini bread from the oven, and let cool on a wire rack with the cover remaining on the baking dish.

When the zucchini bread has cooled, it should be slightly separated from the sides of the baking dish.  Uncover the baking dish and gently run a flat table knife around the edge of the zucchini bread to make sure that it has completely separated from the sides of the dish.  By gently moving the knife around the edge of the zucchini bread and lifting the bottom slightly, you can release the bread from the bottom of the baking dish.

Place a large plate up side down over the top of the baking dish, and holding the plate and baking dish tightly together, turn the baking dish over on top of the plate, and the zucchini bread should fall out onto the plate.

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31):  'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.  And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so.   God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV)  Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
