Skinny Zucchini Bread

I really don't believe that there's such thing as "skinny" and dessert in the sentence. Sure, one can substitute prunes for sugar or a multitude of other substitutes but lets be serious, it'll be seriously missing something. When I eat sweets, I want them full fledged sweet and gooey.

Skinny Zucchini Bread

3 c all purpose flour

1 tsp salt (omit if using salted butter)

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

3 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground nutmeg

3 eggs

1/2 c unsweetened apple sauce

1/2 c canola oil

2 1/4 c white sugar

3 tsp vanilla extract

2 1/2 c grated zucchini

1/2 chopped pecans

2/3 c dark chocolate chips

Grease two 8x4 inch bread pans, preheat oven to 325 degrees. 

Sift flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg together in medium bowl. Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, applesauce and sugar together in large bowl until well combined.

 Slowly add in sifted ingredients and beat well. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans. Separate mixture evenly between two pans.

 Bake 45 -55 minutes or until toothpick inserted all the way through comes out clean. Cool and remove from pan.
