Zucchini Bread

Cream:
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 cups sugar
3 eggs

Add:
1 tsp. salt
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
A sprinkling of nutmeg
A sprinkling of cloves
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups shredded zucchini

Mix and then add:
3 cups flour
a handful of chocolate chips
1 cup coconut (optional)

Bake at 325 for 45 -55 minutes. Use toothpick method to see that is cooked completely.

I hesitate to put this on the blog. Doesn't everyone have a recipe for zucchini bread? It's so easy and such a great way to use your summer vegetables. This one saves you a bit of fat by using only a half a cup of oil. My kids won't eat the coconut, so I do have to make it without it, fairly often. I think it sweetens it up quite a bit though. I have to have chocolate chips. Then I feel like I'm eating dessert.
