Lorrie in Montreal's Note:

For those who have ever grown zucchini...this is an excellent way to use up zucchini. It's also a way to get the zucchini-haters in your household to come over to the green side. LOL

This is a very good and easy bread. I like that with very little effort you get two nice loaves. I grated the zucchini in my food processor and from two medium-sized zucchini I got the two cups needed. I also substituted applesauce for the oil, which I always do in cakes and it was undetectable, while greatly reducing calories. My teenagers loved the chocolate chips and gave this a big thumbs up!
