Zucchini Oatmeal Muffins (or Bread)

This is the best Zucchini Bread recipe I have ever come across. It has healthful elements besides the zucchini and it freezes well. I have made multipule recipes when I have lots of zucchini's in the summer, freeze them, and take them out for breakfasts in the winter. Kids love this bread!

2 cups flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt (can be reduced or omited)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
4 eggs
1 medium zucchini, shredded (cut out large seeds)
3/4 cup salad oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees for muffins or 350 degrees for bread. Grease muffin tins or bread pan. In a large bowl combine first 7 ingredients. In medium bowl beat eggs and stir in oil and zucchini. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture until just moistened (will be a little lumpy). Spoon into baking pan or tins. Bake muffins 25 minutes, bread about 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. Enjoy!
