Chocolate Zucchini Bread

This is a moist delicious quick bread that can be baked in a loaf pan or 9 x 9 brownie pan.

1/2 c butter or margarine, softened
1/2 c vegetable oil
1-1/3 c sugar
2 eggs
2 c grated zucchini (fresh or frozen, but defrost before using)
1/2 c sour milk (1/2 c milk & 1/2 tsp white vinegar) or yogurt
1 tsp vanilla (or orange extract, orange oil or grated zest)
2-1/2 c flour
4 T unsweetened cocoa-I added and additional tablespoon of chocolate
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder

Topping:

3/4 c mini chocolate chips
3/4 c finely chopped walnuts
3/4 c brown sugar
ccc.
Combine the first 12 ingredients and pour into a greased and floured 9~13 pan.

Sprinkle with a topping of (3/4 cup each or more to taste) mini chocolate chips, brown sugar, and chopped walnuts.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.

Notes: yogurt can be substituted for the sour milk/viegar combination. If bread is being baked in a load pan than mix some additional streusel throughout the batter.

Fresh or unsweetened coconut would be a nice addition to this bread Or you could put a sweetened glaze on top and mix or swirl the streusel within the batter. Also, I added 1 tablespoon of orange rind (grated) or you could use pure orange oil extract instead and added 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.
