Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups corn meal
1 cup white granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 15-ounce whole kernel corn
4 cups zucchini squash, fresh chunks
½ cup milk
3 large eggs
Pan spray, as needed
Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Thoroughly combine the flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Drain the juice from the canned corn into a blender and add the corn kernels to the dry ingredients. Blend the zucchini squash, milk and eggs with the juice from the corn. Combine the wet blended ingredients with the dry ingredients. Take caution not to over-mix. Pour mixture into a sprayed 9-by-13-inch pan, preferably glass. Bake for about 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and enjoy warm.
