Chocolate Zucchini Bread

This is so yummy! It is from my Lion House Cookbook.

2 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
2 cups zucchini, grated
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips, semi-sweet

Prepare two 8x4 inch loaf pans by greasing and flouring or by lining with parchment paper. Melt unsweetened chocolate and set aside. Wash and grate zucchini; set aside. Measure flour, salt, soda, baking powder, and cinnamon into a bowl, stir and set aside. Place eggs in mixing bowl and beat. Add sugars, oil, melted chocolate, and vanilla; beat until creamy. Add zucchini and stir together. Mix in dry ingredients until incorporated. Add the chocolate chips and mix in. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes. Makes 2 loaves.

My only problem with the Lion House Cookbook is that almost all of the recipes are for 35 people. Did the authors really think that people were going to be cooking at the Lion House? Come on.

Amen to that, and I always forget to cut them in half. This one isn't too bad.
