Susan J's Notes:

Last summer my friend Ted brought me an abundance of zucchini. After putting a lot in the freezer - some mixed with other vegetables for Ratatouille, some prepared to add to other dishes, still other shredded and pre-measured to make out of season zucchini breads, soups, etc. - I baked breads: plain, pineapple with cranberries or raisins, and chocolate.

Later in the season I planned to visit my sister Joan who has a vegan daughter so decided to make some regular bread for Joan and create a vegan version for Kimberly. This is the first recipe. "Kimberly's Vegan Chocolate Zucchini Bread"

Directions

Oil and dust loaf pan with flour.
Preheat oven 350 degrees

Mix shredded zucchini, sugar, oil, and vinegar.
Add dry ingredients and mix well.

*Add nuts if you are using.

Pour mixture into pan and bake approximately 50 minutes. Check with toothpick and if it comes out clean , it is finished. You may need to cook a few more minutes if it isn't.

* Another time I doubled the recipe, cutting the sugar a bit and baked in a bundt cake pan. It turned out quite well too.
