Time 50m

Yield 2 loaves, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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 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)

Steps:

In one bowl mix all ingredients. Will have some lumps and that is ok. As we age those lumps are badges of honor!
Pour into 2 greased and floured bread loaf pans or 1 loaf pan and 12 muffin cups (lined).
Cook for 45 minutes at 350°F.
Muffins 25 minutes at 350°F.
* 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).
** Tastes great with orange flavor as well, DD made with strawberry cake mix.
*** NOT as dense as a quick bread but tastes oh so good and light.
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.
