Assembly Directions:

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and chocolate chips in separate bowl (or see baking mix instructions below). Beat eggs until frothy.  Beat in oil, applesauce, sugar, and vanilla. Stir in zucchini. Stir in dry ingredients. Pour into greased 9x9 loaf pan.  Wrap with moist cake wrap if desired.  Bake for 40 minutes at 350° until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (except for melted chocolate).  Let stand 10 minutes.  Remove from pan and cool on rack. 

Freezing Directions:

Wrap in plastic wrap, and seal in 1-gallon freezer bag. Label and freeze.

Serving Directions:

Allow the bread to thaw. Slice and serve.

Comments:

For a healthier variation, use 1 cup white flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour. Either way, it will disappear before your eyes!

To use as a baking mix, combine the dry ingredients and store in a food saver bag or freezer bag. Label and store the mix. Make several at a time and store in separate bags. This makes it easy to bake a quick snack when the freezer is either too full for baked goods, or too empty because the goodies have all been eaten!
