    Default zucchini Bread and/or Bars

    On the small zucchini - do you peel them before shredding them?

    Or do you include the skins?

    On the old, big zucchini, we peel them, and remove the seeds before shredding.

    What should I do?

    I just chop of the end bits and shred the lot. If they are very seedy (and the seeds are hard) I suppose you would fish them out.

    Depends... I like the green flecks in mine, so I don't skin. Seeds are not so important. I would seed more often than I skin. Also I like to sometimes add other items like carrots or pineapple to my recipe. Then I use less seeds and meat.
    Good luck,
    Susan

    I cut the ends off, slice lengthwise, remove large seeds, and shred. I'm making 20 loafs of bread today!!

    I include the skin, that is where the nutrition is. And it's pretty.

    I put everything into the blender, no matter how big the zucchini is. I make a delicious chocolate cake with really large zucchini. If someone wants the recipe, I would be happy to supply it.

    Someone asked for it, so here it is:
    Here it is: CHOCOLATE SURPRISE CAKE
    This works best if all ingredients are at room temperature. If your zucchini has been in the refrigerator, put a dish of some chunks into the microwave for a few minutes.
    1/2 c. milk
    1/2 tsp lemon juice or vinegar
    2 1/2 c. flour (half whole wheat)
    4 heaping T. cocoa
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp soda
    1 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp cloves
    1 tsp cinnamon
    1 1/2 c. sugar
    1/2 c. butter
    1/2 c. olive oil
    2 eggs
    1 tsp vanilla
    zucchini
    1/2 c. chopped nuts
    1/2 c. or more dark chocolate chips
    Combine milk and lemon juice. Set aside.
    Sift or stir together all dry ingredients in large bowl.
    Put butter, oil, eggs and milk into blender. Add chunks of zucchini, skin and seeds included, and blend. Add zucchini until there is a good 4 cups of ingredients in the blender. Add vanilla.
    Pour blender ingredients into dry ingredients. Mix well. Pour into 13 X 9 cake pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts.
    Bake for 45 minutes in a 350º oven.
    If you are really crazy for sweet, put a chocolate frosting on, but I never do. It doesn't really need it.
    The whole wheat flour is optional, and I use at least 1/3 coconut oil for some of the shortening.
    Enjoy!
