Chocolate Chip Orange Zucchini Bread

Here's another good way to use up end of summer zucchini. The only thing it needs is more orange flavor; maybe more orange zest or a little orange extract.


Ingredients:

3 cups flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups grated zucchini
2 cups chopped walnuts
1 cup chocolate chips
1 Tb orange zest

Heat oven to 350.  Grease two 9x5 loaf pans. Sift together flour thru nutmeg. In a large bowl, beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and continue to beat until well blended. Stir in oil, vanilla, zucchini, nuts, chocolate and zest. Blend in the flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake 50 min or till done.
Yield: 2 loaves, 12 slices each.
