Made with yogurt this healthy chocolate chip zucchini bread is easy to make and great for freezing. A perfect way to use up your zucchini, it is always a favorite of kids and adults alike.
Zucchini season is in full force which means I am always looking for healthy new ways to enjoy the low-calorie veggie that is cheap and growing like crazy.
While I typically use zucchini in savory recipes like my Asian scallion pancakes or zucchini noodles with sausage, I love baking quick bread that I can stash in the boys’ lunchboxes or enjoy for a grab and go breakfast. Similar to my banana bread and blueberry yogurt bread, my boys love quick breads so I love making them more nutritious. This with a side of iced coffee in the morning? Perfection.
If you don’t already have whole wheat pastry flour in your pantry, I encourage you to pick up a bag.
