Barb's Chocolate Zucchini Bread
I found this recipe in a magazine about 25 yrs ago. I think it is the best quick bread I have ever tasted (well, I do love chocolate!).
3 eggs
1 cup oil
2 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups grated zucchini
2 sqs. unsweetened chocolate, melted
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup nuts, chopped
Beat eggs well, add oil and brown sugar, mixing thoroughly. Add vanilla, zucchini, and melted chocolate and beat well. Mix dry ingredients together, then add to zucchini mixture by spoonfuls, mixing well after each addition. Add nuts.
Bake in two 8x4-inch loaf pans at 350 for 40-60 minutes. Cool in pans until it can be removed (10-15 min), then cool on rack.
