Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins/Bread
(from fugaler’s recipe box)
The original recipe called for all purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, vegetable oil and 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips. You can of course make them that way if you prefer- but this is yummy and healthy. If you want bread instead of muffins- bake for 50 minutes in a loaf pan at the same temperature. Enjoy!
