Even with minimal sugar, this zucchini bread is still sweet and fluffy. The addition of chocolate chips and applesauce adds a subtle sweetness that is not overwhelming. Plus, less sugar is definitely better for the waistline! This may just become your go-to zucchini bread recipe too.
Ingredients:
3 eggs
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup sugar
2 t vanilla
2 cups white whole wheat flour (plus more if needed)
1 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1 T cinnamon
2 c shredded zucchini
1/2 c chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 9x5 pans with cooking spray. Beat eggs, oil, applesauce, sugar, and vanilla until it gets foamy. Add baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and flour to eggs. Consistency should be thick- not runny- so add more flour if necessary.
Stir in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips, then pour half of the mixture into each pan. Bake about 45-50 min until it passes the clean toothpick test.
