-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 large eggs
1/3 cup molasses -- or honey
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups white whole wheat flour -- or Premium Whole
Wheat Flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups shredded, unpeeled zucchini -- (about 1
small/medium zucchini)
1 cup chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped walnuts -- optional
Preheat the oven to 350F; lightly grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, molasses or honey, oil, sugar,
and vanilla until smooth.
Add the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon, mixing
until well combined.
Stir in the zucchini, chocolate chips, and nuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake the bread for 55 to 60 minutes, until the loaf tests done (a
toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center will come out
clean, save for perhaps a smear of chocolate).
Remove the bread from the oven, and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes
before turning it out of the pan onto a rack.
Cool completely before slicing; store well-wrapped, at room temperature.
Yield: one 9" x 5" loaf.
