A NEW Zuchinni Bread Recipe

3 eggs
1 cup oil
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 cups grated zucchini
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup dried cranberries, raisins or chocolate chips or a combination thereof (optional) *I JUST USED CHOC CHIPS (worked!)

Preheat oven to 350°F.Grease and flour two 8×4 inch loaf pans, liberally.Alternately, line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk. Mix in oil and sugar, then zucchini and vanilla.Combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder and salt, as well as nuts, chocolate chips and/or dried fruit, if using.Stir this into the egg mixture. Divide the batter into prepared pans.Bake loaves for 60 minutes, plus or minus ten, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Muffins will bake far more quickly, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
