Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

The addition of mini-chocolate chips and chopped pecans makes this one a winner.

3 eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

2 cups sugar

2 cups grated zucchini

2 t. vanilla extract

3 cups all purpose flour

3 t. cinnamon

1 t. baking soda

1/4 t. baking powder

1 t. salt

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Grease and flour two (8 x 4 inch) loaf pans.

In a large bowl, beat eggs until light and frothy.  Mix in oil and sugar.  Stir in zucchini and vanilla.  Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt and nuts.  Stir into the egg mixture.  Gently stir in chocolate chips.  Divide batter into prepared pans.

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.  Cool in pans for 10 minutes and turn out onto a wire rack.
