Ingredients

2 cups zucchini, grated
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
1 cup soy flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup turbinado sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup currants

Directions

1

place grated zucchini in colander and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. mix well and let sit at least 10 minutes. squeeze out excess water.
2

grease a normal size loaf pan, or two small loaf pans. preheat oven to 350 f.
3

combine both flours, 1/2 teaspoon salt, baking powder, baking soda, turbinado (or sugar), cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
4

in a separate bowl, combine the zucchini (be sure it has most of the water squeezed out), buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, and butter. i find it is easiest to add the butter to the zucchini, mix it, and then add the rest. otherwise i accidently cook my eggs with the hot butter.
5

add the zucchini mix to the dry ingredients. mix well. add the nuts and currants. mix well.
6

pour into bread pan(s) and bake about one hour. i usually have to add another fifteen minutes if it is all in one pan, because the bottom is still so gooey.
