    We are overloaded with carrots and zucchini in my garden this year. So, I thought I'd play with them and create some recipes. I literally tossed all ingredients together in just a few minutes is how this Greek Yogurt Carrot Zucchini Bread with Dark Chocolate Chip was created.

    After all the ingredients were mixed to get, I split the batter into two bread pans, baked it, and it was ready to enjoy. And enjoyed it was! It turned out very delicious and loaded with healthy veggies too.

    This is the healthier version of zucchini bread posted earlier. In this post, I don't use oil but applesauce and Greek Yogurt as substitutes. Some of you, my dear readers and friends, have asked me to share this healthier version with you, so here it is. Enjoy! 🙂

    ⏲️ Baking time

    Split the batter into 2 butter greased bread baking pans and sprinkle old-fashioned oats and dark chocolate chips throughout the bread batter.

    Bake (both loaves at the same time) for 1 hour at 375 F.

    Remove from the oven.

    Let them cool in the pans for 15 minutes before removing them from the pans.

    💭 Tip

    I like to place them on a cutting board lined with paper towels to absorb some of the butter. Or place the loaves on a cooling rack.

      I'm trying to use up what I have in my cupboards and fridge before we head home up north for the summer. I have everything except the zucchini. Pinned this.

      Tried making this recipe today. This is the perfect morning breakfast! Also can be eaten as a snack or dessert. So simple and easy to make. Moist, but at the same time fluffy. The chocolate chips and the quaker oats give it a wonderful twist. Also, I LOVE that it's healthy!! You can eat this without feeling bad. This recipe is a keeper! Thank you so much for sharing this @valyastasteofhome! Family approved! ✔
