ZUCCHINI TWO WAYS

IT IS A PRETTY SAD DAY WHEN YOU HAVE TO BUY OR ASK SOMEONE FOR A ZUCCHINI SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE BREAD. WE HAVE REALLY TRIED TO GROW A GARDEN AGAIN THIS YEAR BUT AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PICTURES IT HASNT BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL. BUT IT WAS TIME FOR ZUCCHINI BREAD AND I HAD TO ASK FOR ONE.
MY ZUCCHINI
WHAT MY ZUCCHINI SHOULD LOOK LIKE
SO TODAY I MADE ZUCCHINI BREAD TWO WAYS ONE WITH CINNAMON CHIPS FROM THE PREPARED PANTRY AND THE OTHER WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS. BOTH OF THEM TURNED OUT REALLY YUMMY.

CINNAMON CHIP ZUCCHINI BREAD

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

2 cups grated zucchini squash
1 1/2 cups cinnamon chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
1.In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together. Set aside.
2.In a smaller bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla together. Fold in the sour cream, oil, and zucchini.
3.Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Stir in the cinnamon chips. Do not continue stirring.
4.Pour the batter into two well-greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pans. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until done. Cool for ten minutes on a rack before removing the loaves from the pan.

CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD
