7/14/2012 Basket - Zucchini Bread

Zucchini Bread
Uses from this basket: Zucchini

• 3 cups flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3 tsp ground cinnamon
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup oil
• 2 1/4 cups sugar
• 3 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 large zucchini, grated (about 2 cups)
• 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (if desired)

Grease and flour two loaf pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. 

Sift flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl. 

Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture, and beat well. Stir in zucchini and chocolate chips until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans. (I did one loaf with chocolate chips and one without so after stirring in the zucchini, I dumped half the batter into one loaf pan, then stirred in about 3/4 cup chocolate chips to the rest of the batter.) 

Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and completely cool.
