I love zucchini and I love chocolate, so as I am doing a bread fest in my kitchen. I jumped into making this with the pantry clean out and the garden veggies. Ingredients:
3 eggs |
1 1/2-2 cups shredded zucchini |
1 teaspoon vanilla (optional) or 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional) |
3 teaspoons butter, melted |
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional) or 1/2 cup peanut butter chips, and (optional) or 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional) |
1 (18 1/4 ounce) box chocolate cake mix (any can be used) |
1/2 cup sugar (may use less as reported by some but we like sweet) |
Directions:
1. In one bowl mix all ingredients. Will have some lumps and that is ok. As we age those lumps are badges of honor!
2. Pour into 2 greased and floured bread loaf pans or 1 loaf pan and 12 muffin cups (lined).
3. Cook for 45 minutes at 350°F.
4. Muffins 25 minutes at 350°F.
5. * Elevation and fuel will vary temps and times. (ex. my propane oven 45 minutes, my DD electric oven 53 min for loaves and similar for muffins).
6. ** Tastes great with orange flavor as well, DD made with strawberry cake mix.
7. *** NOT as dense as a quick bread but tastes oh so good and light.
8. An aditional note: this freezes very well as muffins or bread/cake. I double wrap in plastic and then into a freezer bag. To thaw i take out of freezer bag and let come to room temp, take off plastic and set on paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. To warm just put into a warmed oven or microwave for 30 seconds in a paper towel.
