I love Zucchini Bread/Muffins! Great way to use up zucchini from the garden, and a great way to get some veggies in my kids with out a fight! :-) 
This recipe is very simple and so moist and yummy! 

You will need:
  • 1.5 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup of grated zucchini
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 medium bananas, mashed
  • 1 tsp vanilla
1. Preheat oven to 350. 
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix together well, then stir in the zucchini and chocolate chips. 
3. In another bowl using a hand mixer or blender,mix together the canola oil,sugar,bananas,and vanilla. Add this mixture to the first and stir until it's an even batter.
