INGREDIENTS
1 cup unsweetened applesauce 1 cup sugar substitute for baking (ie. Splenda) 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa 2 cups shredded zucchini, NOT drained — the more moisture, the better 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract 2 cups whole wheat flour 1/2 Tablespoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided nonstick cooking spray PREPARATION Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a full sheet of parchment paper in a 9x13 inch baking pan and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine applesauce, sugar substitute and cocoa. Hand mix well until it forms a wet sand (this will get a little heavy to mix). Add shredded zucchini, vanilla extract, flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until well-combined. Stir in a half cup of the chocolate chips. Pour into prepared baking pan and sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips. Bake for 25–28 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the pan. Lift with parchment paper to remove from pan and cool on counter. Slice into 18 servings. Remember to serve warm!
