Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

I'm doing more baking for the week and I found this recipe in my grandma's old book of recipes. I still have frozen zucchini from my garden so I figured this would be a good way to use some more up. I love chocolate chips in my zucchini bread!

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

2 cups grated zucchini (drain juice so zucchini is as dry as possible)
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup vegetable oil (I used canola)
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
12 oz pkg chocolate chips (can substitute 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips as well)
1 cup chopped nuts, optional

Mix together sugar and oil. Then mix in eggs and grated zucchini. Add salt, flour, baking soda, spices and vanilla. Mix well, then stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Bake in 2 greased and floured 9x5" loaf pans at 350 for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool on rack for 1 hour before serving.
