Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2-2 cups shredded zucchini
• 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional) or 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
• 3 teaspoons butter, melted
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional) or 1/2 cup peanut butter chips, and (optional) or 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
• 1 (18 1/4 ounce) box chocolate cake mix (any can be used)
• 1/2 cup sugar (may use less as reported by some but we like sweet)

Recipe

• 1 in one bowl mix all ingredients. will have some lumps and that is ok. as we age those lumps are badges of honor!
• 2 pour into 2 greased and floured bread loaf pans or 1 loaf pan and 12 muffin cups (lined).
• 3 cook for 45 minutes at 350°f.
• 4 muffins 25 minutes at 350°f.
• 5 * elevation and fuel will vary temps and times. (ex. my propane oven 45 minutes, my dd electric oven 53 min for loaves and similar for muffins).
• 6 ** tastes great with orange flavor as well, dd made with strawberry cake mix.
• 7 *** not as dense as a quick bread but tastes oh so good and light.
• 8 an aditional note: this freezes very well as muffins or bread/cake. i double wrap in plastic and then into a freezer bag. to thaw i take out of freezer bag and let come to room temp, take off plastic and set on paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. to warm just put into a warmed oven or microwave for 30 seconds in a paper towel.
