Chocolate Zucchini Nut Bread

My favorite recipe from my mother-in-law. We often put vanilla ice cream on it, for dessert. Sometimes I replace the nuts with more chocolate chips. Yum!

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 24
• Yields: 2 loaves

Ingredients

• 3  eggs
• 2  cups sugar
• 1  cup  oil

• 1⁄2 cup chocolate chips

Directions

1. In a bowl, beat eggs until light. Gradually add sugar, oil, and vanilla.
2. Stir in melted chocolate and zucchini. (I usually try to make sure everything is at room temperature, so the chocolate doesn't just go back to little pieces).
3. Mix flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add to zucchini mixture and mix well.
4. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips.
5. Divide batter between 2 greased and floured 5x9 loaf pans.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
