Just want you want in the fall! Zucchini Bread. Found a recipe for a Lemon Zuccini Bread that looks yummy. But I settled on Chocolate. Yummy with homemade Roasted Cherry Ice Cream.Makes two loaves or a sheet of formed cakes and two tiny loaves.
350 degrees until pick comes out clean (cooks fast if in smaller pans)
Grate or shred 3 cups zucchini and place in colander or sieve to drain, pressing down to remove extra liquid.
2 cups flour
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1-1/2 tsps. baking soda
6 T unsweetened cocoa powder
Mix all these dry ingredients together and set aside. Take 1/2 cup of this mixture and add to 3/4 cup mini or not chocolate chips*.
In mixing bowl beat two minutes:
1/2 c. canola oil
1 cup sugar
1/4 c. brown sugar

1/2 cup ricotta cheese (or sour cream or yogurt)
3 cups grated or shredded zucchini
Mix in dry ingredients well and add chocolate chips*
