Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

Last night was a night I tried to use up a BIG zucchini I had making a savory treat and then something sweet.  First up was tasty little zucchini tots.  Next for something sweet, chocolate chip zucchini bread.  And as my husband told later that evening when he finally tried a piece. "It's awesome".

Recipe:

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons cinnamon

3 large eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

2 cups of sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

2 cups grated zucchini

1 1/4 cups chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line loaf pans with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.  In a large bowl sift together all the dry ingredients.  In a separate bowl mix together, egg, sugar, oil and vanilla until combine.  Mix in the dry ingredients.  Then fold in the zucchini and chocolate chips.  Divide batter into two loaf pans.  Bake in center oven for 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Allow to cool for about 15 minutes in pans then transfer to cooling rack. Slice and enjoy!

*Batter can easily be halved to make just one loaf. Or batter can be used in a muffin pan, cooking time will be slightly shortly in the muffin pan so keep an eye on them.
