Zucchini Citris Bread

I found this recipe the other day on allrecipes.com and it was amazing. The little touch of lemon was so tastey in the bread. I am posting this mostly for my own reference so I can come back and find it when I need it more quickly!!

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 eggs
1 cup white sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/3 cups grated zucchini
3/4 teaspoon lemon extract

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, beat eggs with sugar for 10 minutes. Gradually add oil and beat for two more minutes. Mix in lemon extract and zucchini. Fold in flour mixture until evenly moistened; do not overmix. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.

Mmmm...I made this today and it was super yummy. Since I'm trying to lose some weight I substituted 1/2 of the oil for applesauce and it still turned out fabulous. Thanks for the recipe Leslie!
