Zucchini Chocolate Chip Bread

Zucchini Chocolate Chip Bread (4 Points Per Slice)

*I have not tried to alter this recipe to use Gluten Free flour yet*.  Once I do, I will repost an update... made with regular flour, it was great though.

I am admittedly a terrible baker and this was a really easy recipe to make well on the first shot. My husband and sister were really skeptical about eating a dessert like bread with zucchini in it, but after some convincing, they tried it, and loved it.

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
1 large egg, beaten
2 tbsp melted butter (I use I can't believe it's not 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 greased 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.
