My mom gave me half a zucchini and I ended up with 4 cups of shredded zucchini to use! (that thing must have been a monster!)
I was craving chocolate and a quick Pinterest search solved my problem of not knowing what to bake.
So, here's my version of this recipe for Chocolate Zucchini Chocolate Chip Bread
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups shredded zucchini
1 1/3 cup flour
2/3 cup dark or semisweet chocolate chips
Grease and flour 8x5 loaf pan.
Preheat oven to 350.
Cream butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Beat in each egg separately. Stir in cocoa, vanilla, baking powder, and salt, make sure not to add cocoa too fast or you'll have a big mess to clean up! Fold in zucchini, then add chips and flour to the bowl, stir just until mixed through.
Bake at 350 for an hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. (Mine took 70 minutes)
Cool for 10 minutes, then remove from pan to finish cooling on a wire rack.
