It's started - What to Do with the Zucchini?

The following is a recipe I have made several times and consider a "keeper" - I have used both green and yellow squash. This bread is very moist and a treat for the chocolate lovers.

Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

1 1/2 cups grated zucchini
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup oil
1/2 vanilla yogurt
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used the dark chocolate chips)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the zucchini, sugar, oil, yogurt and egg in a bowl
Mix the flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cocoa, and cinnamon in another bowl.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients.
Mix in the nuts (if using) and chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into a greased 5 by 9 inch loaf pan.
Bake in 350 oven until a toothpick pushed into the center comes out clean, about 55-70 minutes.

Note: If you grate your zucchini in a food processor, do not over-process or you will have zucchini slosh! It is best to drain the grated zucchini, although when I use my old "Salad Shooter" that I got as a wedding gift 20 yrs. ago, draining is not necessary.
