Ingredients<\/p>\n
* 3 cups all-purpose flour
\n* 1\/2 teaspoon baking powder
\n* 1 teaspoon salt
\n* 1\/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
\n* 1\/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
\n* 1 teaspoon baking soda
\n* 3 eggs
\n* 2 cups white sugar
\n* 1 cup vegetable oil, or butter (can reduce\u00a0by 1\/2)\u00a0 See below…
\n* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
\n* 2 cups grated zucchini
\n* 1 cup chopped pecans
\n* 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
\n* 1 tablespoon orange zest
\n* Whipped cream, for serving
\n* Zucchini ribbons, for serving<\/p>\n
Directions<\/p>\n
Preheat oven at 350 degrees F. Grease (2) 9 by 5-inch loaf pans.<\/p>\n
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, spices and baking soda.<\/p>\n
In a large bowl, beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add sugar, and continue beating until well blended. Stir in oil, vanilla, zucchini, pecans, chocolate chips, and orange zest. Stir in sifted ingredients. Pour into prepared loaf pans.<\/p>\n
Bake for 50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove loaves from pans and cool. Chill before slicing. Serve with whipped cream and ribbons of zucchini.<\/p>\n
Note, you can reduce the oil:<\/p>\n
Recipe works out fine with 1\/2 the oil, but may take a little less time in the oven.\u00a0 Normally, this recipe seems to take more like 1 hour to 1hr and 10 minutes depending on the moisture content imparted by the zucchini and the oil, so reducing the oil helps get it dry a little quicker.\u00a0 I have also further substituted 1\/2 of the remaining oil with flaxseed meal at 3 tablespoons flax for each tablespoon oil omitted.\u00a0 I also prefer butter to vegetable oil, so I may go 1\/2 a stick (1\/4 cup) of melted buttter and 12 T. flaxseed meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
