Healthy Pumpkin Zucchini Chocolate Chip Bread

INGREDIENTS

3 cups all purpose flour

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup brown sugar

3 large eggs

1 cup pumpkin puree

½ cup butter, softened

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 cups finely shredded zucchini, about (1) 8" zucchini

1½ cups chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a 9" loaf pan with nonstick spray.

In a large bowl or stand mixer combine dry ingredients (through brown sugar) and mix to blend.

In another medium bowl combine eggs, pumpkin, butter, vanilla and zucchini.

Add to dry mixture and mix until combined.

Gently stir in chocolate chips.

Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for one hour. (Tip-for extra "pretty" bread add a few chocolate chips to the top of the batter after pouring it in the pan!)

Bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Allow to cool 10 minutes before removing to wire rack.

Store in an airtight container up to 5 days.
