Zucchini Bread

Okay you guys, this bread is delicious and there really isn't that much more to say about it. TRY IT! :)

Zucchini Bread

1 cup oil

2 cups sugar

3 eggs

3 teaspoons vanilla

2 cups shredded raw zucchini

3 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

3 tsp cinnamon

1/4 to 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 chopped nuts (finely chopped)

(Optional) Chocolate chips

Combine oil, sugar and eggs in large mixer bowl. Beat well. Blend in vanilla and zucchini. Sift dry ingredients together. Add to oil mixture and blend well. Add nuts. (Add chocolate chips here too if you'd like).

Pour batter into 2 loaf pans 8x4x3, well greased and lightly floured. Bake at 325 for about 1 hour but test to see if they are done. Touch the center lightly it will spring back if they are done or use a tooth pick in the center and if it comes out clean or nearly clean it is done. Let the loaves stay in the pans about 5 to 8 minutes and then turn out on a cooling rack.
