Chocolate Chip Zucchini Greek Yogurt Banana Bread

Zucchini is still everywhere and one really nice way to enjoy some is in a zucchini bread . Although my favourite zucchini bread is a blueberry zucchini bread , every once in a while I like to indulge and go for a dark chocolate chip zucchini bread. Even though I was going with the chocolate chips, I wanted the rest of the zucchini bread to be as healthy as possible so I tweaked my recipe a little, cutting back on the fats and sugars while adding whole wheat flour and using 0% Greek yogurt along with bananas and the zucchini to keep the bread nice and light, moist and tender. One of the best things about a quick bread like this is that it literally only needs about 5-10 minutes of effort and then you just have to patiently wait for it to bake.
