Recipe from skinnytaste.com

Makes one delicious loaf. (:

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

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 (i used dark chocolate + added in extra...just love chocolate in every bite!)

1 large egg, beaten

2 tbsp melted butter

1 cup apple sauce

1-1/2 cups shredded zucchini (not packed)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°. Spray or grease the bottom and sides of your bread pan so it won't stick after baking.

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

3. Add chocolate chips (a generous extra amount too, if you like chocolate :) and gently mix to combine.

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

5. Pour batter into a large 9x5 inch loaf pan.

6. 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 on a wire rack before slicing.
