Better Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup ground flax seed
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups grated zucchini, or more to taste
• 1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two 8×4-inch loaf pans.

Whisk flour, flax, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Beat white sugar, vegetable oil, applesauce, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together in another bowl. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture until batter is well-mixed. Fold zucchini and chocolate chips into batter; pour batter into prepared loaf pans.

Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean, about 60 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing loaves from pans.
