Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Now that summer is over I am back!  All summer long we ate from our BBQ, I don't even think I turned on my oven.  BBQ chicken, steak, elk burgers. And corn on the cob.  A lot of Taber corn!!  I think this year was the best corn on the cob I have ever tasted. Yumm.  But I have to say I am a little bit corn cobbed and BBQ'd out and ready to get back to cooking and baking!

Anyways, Brad's cousin gave me two ginormous zucchinni's last week and I have been wondering what to do with them.  I got out my handy dandy bosch vegetable chopper thingy and I had my zucchini grated in no time(thank heavens!!! it used to take me FOREVER).  The boys helped me because they loved to push the zucchini in the little slot thingy.

Here is the recipe, it is from Our Best Bites.  Sooo yummy it's more like dessert!! I did use one cup whole wheat flour and one cup of white and you couldn't even tell.

Chocolate Zucchini Bread {makes 2 loaves}
Recipe by Our Best Bites
2 C flour
2 t cinnamon
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 t baking soda
6 T unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 C canola oil
1 C sugar
1/4 C brown sugar
3 eggs
2 t vanilla
1/2 C sour cream
3 C grated zucchini
3/4 C mini chocolate chips
optional: zest from one orange
Topping:
2 T brown sugar
2 T white sugar
1/2 t cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour 2 loaf pans and set aside. I actually used one 8″ disposable pan to give away and a larger 9″ one for me and the batter divided perfectly. So you should get 2 very full 8″ pans or slightly less full 9″. Do one of each like I did!
