Ingredients

• 1 cup zucchini
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg white
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grate the zucchini using a box grater until you have 1 cup of lightly packed grated zucchini. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and egg white together. Add the Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Mix until the brown sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve as a healthy, low fat snack or breakfast option.
