With zucchini in full harvest, why not add some of these veggies to your desserts? This zucchini bread
slashes fat thanks to applesauce, which also keeps each slice satisfyingly moist and tasty. A pinch of
cinnamon — and a decadent serving of chocolate chips — will leave your kitchen smelling wonderful,
and your taste buds overly content. Plus, with fewer than 130 calories per serving, there’s plenty to be
happy about, guilt-free. Omit the chocolate chips altogether if you’re looking to lower the sugar content
even further, and feel free to add walnuts for an extra wholesome crunch factor.
