This Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread is a healthy way to use up that zucchini and get a chocolate fix!
This recipe came from Cooking Light July 2004 edition. It uses applesauce to sweeten and moisten the bread - not to mention the zucchini filler! It makes one large loaf or 16 slices. It logs in at 161 calories per slice with 5.1 grams of fat, 1.4 grams of fiber.
I can't get my mind around chocolate for breakfast - you see those chocolate drizzled croissants in French pastry shops but I just can't do it. So this little gem of a recipe makes a nice coffee cake -item or a pretty guilt-free dessert!
