Lion House Zucchini Bread

Anyone like me, have excess zucchini from their garden that they don't know what to do with? Simple solution... make zucchini bread! It's yummy, nutritious, and easy!!






3 cups flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon
3 eggs
1 cup oil
2 cups sugar
1 TBSP. vanilla
2 cups zucchini, grated (1 1/2 med. zucchini)
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 325*. Grease well 1 large bread pan, or 2 small bread pans. Set aside. In a medium bowl mix together flour, soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a separate, larger bowl beat eggs until light and foamy. Add oil, sugar, vanilla, and zucchini; mix well. Add the flour mixture and mix just until moist. DO NOT over mix. Fold in nuts.
(I did nuts in one pan and chocolate chips in another)
Pour into greased pan(s). Pans should be about 2/3 full. Bake for 45-50 minutes for large pan and 30-35 minutes for small pan or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Don't over bake.
