Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread is a moist loaf combining shredded zucchini with a blend of all-purpose and whole wheat flours, sweetened with brown sugar and studded with semi-sweet chocolate chips. The batter includes applesauce for moisture and a touch of butter for richness. Baked in a loaf pan until a toothpick comes out clean, the bread yields a tender crumb with sweet chocolate pieces throughout, providing a way to incorporate vegetables into a baked sweet treat.
