Here’s another zucchini recipe for you. I found this one on Recipezaar. Now, I liked the idea of this one, it called for a cake mix. Also, I really liked the way it turned out. I decided to do the cake mix zucchini bread with almond extract for a change. I thought it was delicious and of course my husband didn’t. He said to make it next time with vanilla extract. If you like almond extract though, I would highly recommend it.

I know my oldest son would have loved it with peanut butter chips, but since I was using almond extract, I stuck with the semi sweet chocolate chips. I all chose a milk chocolate cake mix and used 2 cups of zucchini. On thing that I did do differently with this recipe was put it all in one loaf pan. The recipe says it makes 2 loaves, but after I started to add the batter to the pan it look like too little batter. So, I put it all in one loaf pan and cooked it for 60 minutes. I made a really good sized loaf.

If you go the do the muffin option, I am also wondering if it would really make 24 muffins.

It may be more like 12-18 muffins. One other tip, make sure to toss your chocolate chips in a little flour before adding them to the batter. This help keep them from sinking to the bottom of the bread. This recipe was delicious and will be added to my tried and true file. And just so you know, I am hoping to have a savory zucchini recipe for you tomorrow. I figure I gotta throw ONE in there.

Notes

(These are notes from the person who posted this recipe on Recipezaar* 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. )
