Low-Fat Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

This is another delicious, low-fat recipe from Skinny Taste. We loved it! My kids ate a ton--we were left w/ only half a loaf after one sitting! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup all purpose flour (I used unbleached)
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour (regular whole wheat flour would work)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (not packed)
  • 1-1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 cup apple sauce
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded zucchini (not packed)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325°.

Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well.

Add chocolate chips and gently mix to combine.

In a medium bowl, mix egg, vanilla, melted butter, apple sauce and zucchini. Add to the flour mixture and stir until just blended.


Pour

batter into a large 9x5 inch loaf pan.


Bake

at 325° for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool

for about 10 minutes.

Remove

loaf from pan and let it cool before slicing.
