Here is that Monster Zuke! The Tray is 19 Inches Long, The Zuke is 15 Inches Long and weighs 4.5 pounds!
Within the last two weeks, I think Red Devil posted about how much zucchini he had... if it wasn’t him, then he is getting the blame (LOL!). I have two roadside stands near us and I purchased a ton of it. I found this recipe that I named “Red Devil Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread” and it has gotten raves from my family and two or my neighbors. I wanted to share it with anyone interested:
RED DEVIL’S CHOCOLATE CHIP ZUCCHINI BREAD”
3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp baking soda
3 eggs
2 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 tsps vanilla extract
2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (I used walnuts)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used the mini’s)
1 tbs orange zest (I used the dried)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease two 9 by 5 inch loaf pans. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, spices and baking soda. In a large bowl, beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add sugar and continue beating until well blended. Mix in the oil, vanilla, zucchini, nuts. Add the chocolate chips and orange zest — stir those in (I added a tsp of flour to the chips so they don’t settle). Stir in the sifted ingredients and pour into the prepared loaf pans. Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer or sharp knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove loaves from pans and cool.
** We tried it warm and it was sinful and we also tried it chilled... delicious! You can cut the recipe by half if you don’t want to freeze one, share it with neighbors or have three kids who devour pretty much everything in sight!
** I am sorry but I don’t have the calorie counts etc... Red Devil is getting the compliments for this recipe but he is also getting the blame that I gained a pound and a half this week (LOL). I had to blame someone...
