We go to the local Farmer's Market every Saturday morning. One vendor has luscious baked goods, and my favorite is the Chocolate Zucchini Bread. I decided to try a recipe on my own. I used a recipe from Allrecipes and tried to lighten it up. I substituted applesauce for the fat, and used only half the sugar and half Splenda. You could leave out the chocolate chips for an even lighter version - 2 points per serving. I will definitly make this one again. As written, with the chips, the recipe is 3 points per serving. Makes 2 loaves - cut into 24 servings. Next time - I will use 2 cups of wheat flour and 1 cup of AP flour. I'm totally blown away by the flavor and texture of the product.
