For those who garden and plant zucchini, this is a great way to use up your harvest. Most people who don’t like zucchini bread tend to like this one.
Sunshine's Zucchini Bread
Yield: 2 9-inch loaf pans. If you use 8-inch pans for your loaves you will have to bake them about 15 minutes longer.
Ingredients:
3 cups all purpose flour
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups grated zucchini
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt (I use scant 1/2 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup sour cream
Directions:
Grease two 9x5x3 loaf pans and set aside. Sift the flour into a large bowl. Beat the eggs and add with the rest of the ingredients to the flour. Mix well. Scrape the bowl often and keep mixing for several minutes. Pour into pans and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour 20 minutes. Let cool slightly before removing from pans. Then, cool right-side up on racks. This bread freezes well.
My note: Prior to putting them in the oven, I take a handful more of chocolate chips and sprinkle them on top for an extra special touch.
