Zucchini & Chocolate Chip Mini-Loaves
Well, just like most people, I have broken my New Year's Resolutions. I was hoping that I could post Weekly Photos, every week, but this last week has been so very busy that I didn't even pick up my camera. But, on a good note, the fundraiser I was organizing went really well. The food was good, people bid on a lot of great silent auction items and there were no big problems. Things went really smoothly. Hallelujah!
...
If you tried out the Applesauce-Raisin Muffins that I blogged about before, then you will surely love these Zucchini & Chocolate Chip mini-loaves. It's the same base recipe but adapted for zucchini instead. They are moist and healthy.
From what I learned from the Banana Bread blogpost, if you prefer to put in nuts instead of chocolate chips, you are more than welcome! I was surprised that so many of you did not like chocolate chips in your loaves! Like I said in that post, I love my chocolate chips.
Enjoy!
