Ingredients

1 cup zucchini(s) shredded
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp Salt
2 egg(s) whisked
1/4 cup Vegetable oil
1/4 cup Applesauce
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup Walnut pieces
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
Use a grater to grate the zucchini - approximately 1 heaping cup.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt.
In another bowl, mix together zucchini, eggs, oil, applesauce, and vanilla. Be sure it’s mixed well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing until everything is just combined. If there are a few remaining lumps it's okay; don't overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts gently.
Pour into the baking loaf and bake for approximately 50 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

You don't need to squeeze the water out of the zucchini. If you do, that's fine. And if you find the bread is not done at 50 minutes because the zucchini was particularly wet, just bake it a bit longer.
