Award Winning Zucchini Bread

In a large bowl, beat the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon in another bowl; stir into the sugar mixture just until moistened. Stir in the zucchini, walnuts, lemon zest and chocolate chips.

Transfer to two greased 8-inch x 4-inch loaf pans. Sprinkle a few chocolate chips on the top of each loaf. Bake at 350°F for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pans to wire racks to cool completely.
