Directions

1. In one bowl, stir the dry ingredients together. In another bowl, mix the sugars with the margarine and vanilla extract until well combined, then stir in shredded zucchini (if your zucchini produces a lot of moisture after being shredded, squeeze out and discard some of the juice), walnuts and chocolate chips. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and mix until just combined.
