Zucchini Bread Done Right

My friend Re has zucchini comin' our her ears from her garden and she just posted roughly one million ideas on what to do with all that green. I recieved one zucchini from my boyfriend's mom and going out of town, I knew Mr. X would let that thing rot. So, I decided to make some bread. Thanks Eating Well.

Needs:
3/4 c low fat milk (I used Slender Soy vanilla)
2 eggs
3/4 c sugar
1/3 cup canola oil (I used light olive oil)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. shredded zucchini (1 large)
2 c. whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt (I eliminated this)
1/2 c. chocolate chips (I used dark)

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. In a large bowl, mix milk, eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla
3. add zucchini
4. In another bowl, mix  flour, powder, cinnamon.
5. Combine bowls and fold in choc. chips.
6. Bake for 1 hour in a greased bread pan (9x5)

Yum Yum: the chocolate chips give it that sweet, indulgent factor

Look at all that color
