Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread by Grandma Green

This is an amazing recipe by my mom's mom, Marjorie Rose McFarland Green. She is an amazing cook and is very generous with her recipes for which I am very grateful. I promise this recipe will not disappoint.

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread by Grandma Green

Ingredients:
2 C. Zucchini, grated
3 large Eggs, well beaten
2 C. Sugar
1 C. Oil
3 C. Flour
1 t. Salt
1/2 t. Baking Powder
1 t. Baking Soda
2 t. Vanilla
2 t. Cinnamon
1 1/2 C Milk Chocolate Chips (optional)
1 C. Nuts (optional)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325*. Spray loaf pans and line with parchment paper. Spray parchment paper as well.

2. Sift dry ingredients in a bowl. Beat eggs, sugar, oil and zucchini together. Add dry ingredients until just mixed. (DO NOT OVER MIX.) Dust nuts and chocoltae chips with flour and stir into mixture.

3. Bake regular loaves 1 hour, medium loaves 40 minutes, mini loaves 30 minutes UNTIL THEY SPRING BACK when pressed in the middle. (My oven takes a lot longer so just watch them the first time to see how long it takes.)

**To freeze for later, wrap in foil and then put into freezer bag to freeze. Thaw at room temperature or in the microwave.

This is the most recent picture I have of my Grandma Green taken on Christmas Day with her holding James. I just love him in stripes!
