1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F ( 165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8x4 inch loaf pans.
2. In a large bowl, beat eggs until light and frothy. Mix in oil and sugar. Stir in zucchini and vanilla. Combine flour, cinnamon, soda, baking powder, salt and nuts; stir into the egg mixture. Divide batter into prepared pans.

Note by Suzanne: I mix this by hand, not by a mixer or Kitchen-Aid. It is a heavy, wonderfully tasty bread! I hope you will enjoy it.
