Nutritional Info Per Serving: N/A
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
3/4 cup walnuts or pecans, finely chopped
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 8-ounce can crushed pineapple, drained, juice reserved
2 cups prepared fruit or vegetable (instructions to follow)
Peel, core, and shred 2 medium apples to make 2 cups total
Peel and shred 1 medium-size sweet potato to make 2 cups total. Then stir in 1 tbsp. of the reserved pineapple juice.
Shred 2 medium zucchini to make 2 cups total.
Peel and shred 2 medium carrots to make 2 cups total. Stir in 1 tbsp. of the reserved pineapple juice.
For the carrot bread version, I use nearly 1 pound of carrots and pack the measuring cup tightly, it would get more carrot into my children when they were small.
Divide batter into 2 6-cup Bundt pans and bake about 45 minute.
Bake 2 7"x3-1/2"x2" pans approximately 45 to 50 minutes.
Bake 8 4-1/2"x2-1/2"x1-1/2" pans approximately 30 to 35 minutes.
Double batch yields approximately 48 cupcakes, bake for approximately 20 minutes (these have always been a hit at bake sales.)
