Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter or margarine
  • ½ cup oil
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 cups flour
  • 4 tablespoons (¼ cup) cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cloves
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cream butter, oil and sugar.
  3. Mix in eggs, vanilla, milk and all dry ingredients.
  4. When mixed well, stir in zucchini and chocolate chips.
  5. Pour into a well-greased 9-by-13-inch rectangular pan and bake approximately 40 minutes. Alternately, bake in two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. You can also make muffins or mini muffins instead; muffins take approximately 30 minutes, and mini muffins take 20. When changing the size of the pan, always keep an eye on your oven to prevent overcooking.

Tips & Notes

You can also add walnuts or pecans to enhance the zucchini bread’s texture.
