Squash bread

Since other people have posted recipes lately, I thought I would throw one in the mix. This is especially timely as we go into fall with its many squashes. I love eating this bread for breakfast, as it comes out with a coffee cake-like texture.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground ginger / small piece of shredded fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice (1 medium lemon)
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon peel
1 cup shredded squash / about one normal size squash from farm
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Mix dry ingedients in a bowl, then add wet, one at a time. Preheat
oven to 350. Cook at 350 for 45 to 55 minutes or until smells/looks
right.

I have pondered, but not tried, adding either cinnamon or brown sugar to the top, which might be tasty.
