Easy Zucchini Bread

I am in Nashville this weekend having SO much fun meeting lots of fabulous bloggers at Blissdom, but I wanted to share this recipe that I made last week. I was so excited when I opened my Worden Farm Box last week and discovered 4 delicious looking zucchini way down at the bottom of the box. It was the perfect excuse to make a big batch of homemade zucchini bread, something I’ve wanting to do for months!

Here is what you need:

4 medium zucchini

4 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon baking soda

1 tablespoon baking powder

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

8 eggs

1 1/2 cups vegetable oil

3 1/2 cups white sugar

2 tablespoons vanilla

chocolate chips (optional)

Step 1: Preheat oven to 325. Grease 2-4 loaf pans depending on their size. Grate zucchini to make approximately 6 cups; set aside. Make sure to press out the excess water from the zucchini before adding to batter.

Step 2: In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, & cinnamon.

Step 3: In separate bowl or Kitchen-aid, beat together eggs, oil, sugar & vanilla.

Step 4: Add zucchini, 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips and dry ingredients to wet mixture and mix until combined.

 Step 5:  Divide mixture into 4 pans and top with some more chocolate chips. (optional)

One of things I love the most about this recipe is that makes a LOT of zucchini bread–more than enough to share! What a great excuse to pop in on a friend or  surprise a neighbor.
