Orange Chocolate-Chip Zucchini Bread

I made four loaves of this bread yesterday - each recipe yields 2 loafs. The orange juice is a nice addition as it cuts the sweetness of the chocolate - the first batch I made I used 1 tbsp orange zest instead of the OJ and it worked just as well.

3 eggs

2 cups sugar

1 cup vegetable oil

2 cup grated zucchini

2 tsp vanilla

3 tbsp orange juice (with pulp)

1 cup chocolate chips

3 cups flour

1/4 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Start by beating the eggs until fluffy, then add the sugar until combined. Then add the oil, zucchini, vanilla and OJ. Then sift together and add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Finally stir in the chocolate chips.

Divide the batter between 2 greased loaf pans and bake for 50 minutes.
