Chocolate chip Zucchini Bread

 

Our new favorite thing to do with zucchini! We love the nutty crunch and sweetness of this bread, plus it's a sneaky way to get those veggies in! It's great for breakfast or even dessert.

INGREDIENTS:

-       1 cup of zucchini, grated

-      1/3 cup canola oil

-       1/2 cup plain greek yogurt, at room temperature

-       1 large egg, at room temperature

-       1/2 cup agave syrup

-       1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

-       1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

-       1/2 teaspoon baking soda

-      1/2 teaspoon baking powder

-       1/2 teaspoon salt

-       1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

-       1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped

-       3/4 small chocolate chips (we love Enjoy Life)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Whisk oil, yogurt, egg, agave and vanilla in small bowl.  In a separate, larger bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well. Fold in zucchini, nuts and chocolate chips. Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake for for 45 minutes.

Enjoy!
