Zucchini has become one of my favorite fresh ingredients to play with this summer. I love it roasted in salads, grilled in pasta, baked in pies and it is crazy good when paired with chocolate. I have been spending way too much time playing around with the different the types of recipes for zucchini breads lately, some with chocolate and some without. Personally, I vote for the ones with the chocolate. It doesn’t really matter if you use milk or dark chocolate. Either way it is perfect. I also threw in some fresh blueberries into the mix and it turned out amazing. I prefer mine fresh out of the oven with a tall glass of ice tea. Then again, having a cold slice of this the next day still makes me a happy girl.
Zucchini Bread with Chocolate and Blueberries
1 large eggs
1/3 cup apple sauce
1/4 cup fat free sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup grated zucchini
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease and flour one 8×4 inch loaf pans
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, apple sauce, sour cream and vanilla. Then add in the grated zucchini. And that’s the wet ingredients.
Combine the dry ingredients together, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder and salt, as well as chocolate chips and fresh blueberries. Stir this into the wet mixture. Pour batter into the greased loaf pan.
Bake for 60 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

Every time I read your blog I rush to my fridge to see if i can find anything almost as yummy as the pictures I see..and almost always I come away with only thing in it…a cup of plain yogurt. I’ve been fantasizing for a long time now to bake my very own macarons, but never had the guts too! They seem so delicate! But now I shall try because you have absolutely inspired me! I’ll be keeping a lookout for a time when your shells are smooth and curvy as a Kitchen Aid:)
