Skinny Chocolate Zucchini Bread

You'll Never Guess What Is Inside...

Hello Healthy

Green is GOOD!

I have a confession. I love Zucchini. So much that yes, I put it in bread. I am telling you this bread is delicious and better yet, healthy! I cut out the sugar, gluten, oil, and used only egg whites. "How," You ask? I'm just good like that! Check out this healthy chocolately treat (contradiction? ironic?-- NO!) So yummy, so chocolately, and yes, healthy.

Ingredients:

(Dry)
3/4 C Buckwheat
3/4 C Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
1/4 C Brown Sugar
2 Packets Organic Stevia
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
2 Tablespoon All Natural Cocoa Powder
11/2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

(Wet)
2 C Grated Zucchini (About 2 Medium Zucchini)
1/4 C Unsweetened Apple Sauce
1/2 C Egg Beaters
11/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

To-do:

1) Preheat oven 350.
2) Mix dry ingredients together.
3) Mix wet ingredients together.
4) Mix everything together.
5) Place dough in a nonstick pan/ sprayed pan.
6) Cook for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean!

Variations:

- If you do not have Buckwheat Flour use 11/2C Whole Wheat Pastry Flour, wheat flour. I do NOT recommend all purpose flour.
- Use two eggs instead of 1/2 C Egg Beaters.
- Use 3/4 C Sugar instead of the brown sugar and stevia mixture.
- You can leave out the cocoa powder (only 20 extra calories for the chocolately taste though!)
- Use 1/4 C Canola Oil instead of Unsweetened Apple Sauce.
- Add mini chocolate chips (**more for less), dried fruit such as cranberries, add walnuts or almonds.

A note on my variations-- I vary my recipes to make them as healthy as possible. I do not recommend all purpose flour, oil, or whole eggs. Do your health and body a favor by choosing healthier variations. If these variations are not possible no problem use what you got! I just believe in giving you the healthiest alternatives possible. I owe that to my readers and it is important to bring my healthy versions to you.
