3 cups flour
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup buttermilk [I always use lemon juice and regular milk, so in this case 1/2 tbsp lemon juice and the rest of the 1/2 cup regular milk.]
2 cups shredded zucchini
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips [this said chocolate "bits," which probably meant to chop up a larger block, but that's too much work for me. While I think you would get better saturation (smaller pieces), I thought this turned out quite well using the easier chips.]
Combine first nine ingredients in a mixing bowl. Beat at medium speed for two minutes. Stir in zucchini and chocolate chips. Pour batter into two greased loaf pans and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool, slice and serve (they suggest cream cheese and orange marmalade...I thought it was great plain). This actually really improves on sitting overnight.
