Preparation

Step 1

1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 11" x 7" pan.
2 Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon & nutmeg. Set aside.
3 In a large bowl, beat the sugar, oil and eggs until well mixed. Stir in the All-Bran, orange peel and vanilla. Add the flour mixture, zucchini and nuts, mixing well. Spread evenly in prepared pan.
4 Bake @ 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes (check for doneness with toothpick).
