Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread (Low Calorie)

What a great way to get your kids to eat zucchini! (You can't taste the zucchini, only the chocolate chips) This recipe uses apple sauce in place of oil. (I used unsweetened, so the bread is less sweet then regular zucchini bread)   It only uses 2 tablespoons of butter.   Great to pack for school snack!




1 cup flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup brown sugar (not packed)
1  1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used minis)
1 large beaten egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup apple sauce (I used unsweetened)
1  1/2 cups shredded zucchini  (not packed)

• Heat oven to 325 bake
• Combine flour, sugar and baking soda in a large bowl.  Mix well
• Add chocolate chips and gently mix
• In a medium bowl, mix egg, vanilla and melted butter, apple sauce and zucchini
• Add to the flour mixture and stir until just blended
• Pour batter into a greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pan
• Bake for 45-55 minutes.  (until a toothpick is inserted in the middle, and comes out clean)
• Cool for 10+ minutes and remove from pan and place on a cooling rack.
