Cinnamon chips add a fall flavor to a chocolate zucchini bread. Applesauce in the batter adds moistness and stands in for fat, and whole wheat flour gives a nutty flavor and hearty texture.

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 cup cinnamon baking chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 9x5-inch loaf pans.
  2. Mix all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Whisk brown sugar, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla extract in a second large mixing bowl. Stir zucchini into the liquid ingredients and beat in flour mixture until batter is just combined; do not overbeat. Gently mix in cinnamon baking chips. Divide batter evenly between prepared loaf pans.
  3. Bake in preheated oven until lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean, 55 minutes to 1 hour. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing loaves to finish cooling on wire racks.
