Do you have one you love? I'm growing zucchini this year and I'm hoping to make something my kids will enjoy. I would love to have you share any other good zucchini recipes too. If it involves chocolate chips-all the better! TIA
we make zucchini bread all the time, just made some the other day, we use the same recipe you use to make pumpkin bread, just don't add pumpkin add 3 cups of zucchini instead and 1 cup of white choc. chips with nuts. HMMMMMMMMMM so good.
I'll dig out my recipe a little later...I have to find where I put my cookbooks in the new apartment...but I used to love stuffed zucchini as a kid. It was one of the few ways I'd actually eat it...I also liked zucchini noodles.
How about cookies? These are really good, my kids have always enjoyed them. Zucchini-Chocolate Chip Cookies 1 cup brown sugar 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla 1 1/2 cups flour 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking soda 3/4 cups oatmeal 1/2 cups coconut 6oz. chocolate chips 1/2 cups nuts 1/2 cups butter 1 cup shredded zucchini Beat butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Add all dry ingredients and oatmeal, mix until smooth. Stir in coconut, choc. chips, nuts, and zucchini, mix well. Drop by spoonfuls (like your making choc. chip cookies) on a greased cookie sheet. Bake @ 350 for 10 min. Enjoy LucyRicardo
Ok as promised here's the recipe for Zucchini Bread. * 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour * 1 1/2 teaspoons salt * 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg * 2 teaspoons baking soda * 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon * 3 cups sugar * 1 cup vegetable oil * 4 eggs, beaten * 1/3 cup water * 2 cups grated zucchini * 1 teaspoon lemon juice * 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, nutmeg, baking soda, cinnamon and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine oil, eggs, water, zucchini and lemon juice. Mix wet ingredients into dry, add nuts and fold in. Bake in 2 standard loaf pans, sprayed with nonstick spray, for 1 hour, or until a tester comes out clean. Alternately, bake in 5 mini loaf pans for about 45 minutes. You can make this into muffins but I don't have cooking time for them as I never do muffins. Stuffed Zucchini (works great with LARGE zucchini) Split one Zucchini down the middle and using a large spoon scoop out the seeds so you have a nice well to fill. In a bowl mix 1lb italian sausage (any variety), any chopped zucchini you removed from the vegetable earlier (not the seeds), 1 diced onion (sauteed is best but raw will do), 1 cup diced bell pepper (any color), salt, pepper, italian seasoning to taste. Mix well and then stuff into the zucchini. Bake at 350 for about 45 - 60 minutes (depending on the size of your zucchini), coat with tomato sauce and bake an additional 20 - 40 minutes until temp reaches 155 and squash is soft.
