Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two standard loaf pans.
2
Begin by shredding the zucchini using a grater, then place it in a clean paper towel and squeeze out excess moisture to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg and egg whites with the sugar, whisking together until well blended.
4
Add in the vanilla extract, canned pumpkin, and unsweetened applesauce to the egg mixture, stirring until completely combined.
5
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6
Fold in the grated zucchini and mini chocolate chips gently until they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7
Evenly divide the batter between the prepared loaf pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9
Once baked, allow the loaves to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
