Do you enjoy cooking or baking more?

I tend to enjoy cooking more as you can adjust the taste as you go and have more control throughout the process of a dish during the cooking process.

Ingredients

- eggs - unsweetened applesauce - brown sugar - vanilla extract - whole wheat flour - all-purpose flour - salt - baking soda - baking powder - cinnamon - zucchini - chocolate chips

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

2

Shred zucchini. Using paper towels press as much moisture you can from the zucchini.

3

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

4

In a separate bowl, sift together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.

5

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, a little at a time, mixing until well combined.

6

 Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle and comes out clean.

8

Remove the bread from the oven, and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before taking it out of the loaf pan.
