Yes I realize this recipe is a little out of season...but I am cleaning out my freezer currently, and it was DARN good! I made it as mini muffins, and as bread. The bread was WAY moister!

(can substitute 6 T. cocoa + 2 T shortening)
* 3 eggs
* 2 cups white sugar
* 1 cup vegetable oil
* 2 cups grated zucchini
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips



DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees . Lightly grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate until melted. Stir occasionally until chocolate is smooth.
2. In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, oil, grated zucchini, vanilla and chocolate; beat well. Stir in the flour baking soda, salt. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared loaf pans.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean.
