Zucchini Bread

If you grow zucchini you probably have too many, but don't worry! All zucchini hope to grow up to become this delicious bread. If you can keep from eating it all at once it develops a slightly sugary crust. My fiance likes to add chocolate chips or huckleberries...and then sport-eat it by the loaf. This bread freezes extremely well wrapped in saran wrap. The recipe doubles well if you have that many extra bread pans.
