This is the perfect breakfast on the go, afternoon snack or even dessert!
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs1 cup olive or vegetable oil1 3/4 cups sugar2 cups grated zucchini2 teaspoons vanilla extract3 cups all-purpose flour1 tablespoon cinnamon1/8 teaspoon nutmeg1 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon baking powder1 teaspoon salt1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)1 cup chocolate chips (if you want a healthier version, feel free to substitute dried cranberries)
Instructions
Yield: 2 loaves or approximately 24 muffins
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease and flour two 8×4 inch loaf pans. Make sure you use lots of butter and the pans are well greased, so your bread doesn’t stick to the pan. If you’re making muffins, line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk. Mix in oil and sugar, then zucchini and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder and salt, as well as nuts, and chocolate chips.
Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture. Divide the batter into prepared pans.
Bake loaves for about 40 - 60 minutes. When a tester is inserted, it should come out dry. If you making muffins they will be done much sooner, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
Let the loaves (or muffins) cool in their containers for about 10 minutes on cooling racks before removing.
