Tis the season for zucchini, and a lot of it! I finally found a recipe that I feel is worthy to pass along. This bread is extremely moist and full of flavor. I love mini chocolate chips with zucchini bread, so I added some to the recipe, which made the bread to die for. If you have extra zucchini I highly recommend you give this a try!
Zucchini Bread
adapted from For the Love of Cooking
3 cups of flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup of vegetable oil (or 1/2 cup & 2 Tbsp applesauce)
3 eggs
1 cup of white sugar
1 cup of brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups of grated zucchini
1 cup chopped pecans/walnuts
1 cup mini chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour two 8 x 4 inch pans or coat with cooking spray. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together in a bowl. Add the cinnamon and nutmeg and mix thoroughly. Beat together, oil, eggs,white sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl until creamy. Add flour mixture to the creamy mixture and mix well. Gently add the zucchini and walnuts until well combined. Pour into greased bread pans and bake for 40-50 minutes or until a knife is inserted in the center comes out clean. I really like a crunch to the top of my bread so I sprinkle the top with brown sugar and chopped pecans before baking. Cool in the pan for a few minutes moving to a rack.
