Zucchini or Banana Bread

I already have some zucchini and my favorite way to use it is by making Zucchini Bread. I can't believe I have not posted this recipe before because I make it every year or as many times as people give me zucchini. I like lots of nuts in it and for me that would not be optional; chocolate makes it a little different and my husband complains every time I put some in.

Ingredients:
3 eggs beaten
1 Cup oil
2 Cups sugar
3 Cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 Tbs. cinnamon
3 tsp. vanilla
2 Cups raw zucchini grated or 3 large ripe bananas mashed
nuts and chocolate chips (optional)

Grease and flour 2 large loaf pans. Combine eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla until blended. Stir in zucchini or bananas. Combine dry ingredients and stir to sift; add to the zucchini or banana mixture. Bake at 350F for 50 60 minutes.
