Chocolate Zucchini Bread

This is a slightly altered recipe originally from my Grandma Redwine, altered by my sister, Gracie. It makes awesome bread to use up some of that extra zucchini and it freezes well.

Bake at 350 degrees. Makes two loaves.

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
2 cups grated zucchini
3 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2-1 cup chocolate chips(depending upon how much chocolate you like in yours, plus some to sprinkle on the top)

Mix dry ingredients together in one bowl and wet ingredients in another larger bowl (yes, sugar is a "wet" ingredient). Add dry ingredients to wet, mix and then fold in chocolate chips. Place batter into two greased loaf pans. I have been told that it is better to use Crisco to grease the pans rather than cooking spray. With cooking spray they still seem to stick a bit.

Bake at 350 for one hour or until toothpick comes out clean. Yummers!
