Yes, the chocolate zucchini bread I made yesterday passed the family taste test. Here is the recipe.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD


2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour (can also use all-purpose flour for this)
½ cup cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
¾ cup applesauce (or can substitute oil for this amount)
¾ cup oil
3 eggs
1 ½ cups milk
1 ½ cups sugar
2 tsps vanilla
2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup semi-sweet mini-chocolate chips

In a large bowl, combine flours, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.

In another bowl, combine applesauce, oil, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and zucchini.

Stir zucchini mixture into flour mixture just until combined. Gently stir in chocolate chips.

Pour into two greased loaf pans (8 x 4). Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.

Cool on rack then remove from pans.
