Amazing!

I make a chocolate zucchini bread that is to die for. But, it's about 300 calories for a 3/4 inch slice. Yikes! But I read some reviews for the recipe and found out that you can substitute applesauce for the vegetable oil. I recalculated the recipe using 1 cup unsweetened applesauce instead of oil and the calories went down to 190 for each slice! I haven't actually tried baking it this way yet, but you know I will! I'll report back with my results. If you are interested, here is the link to the original recipe: Chocolate Zucchini Bread

I use applesauce all the time when I bake. Works great! Tastes the same! I'll be checking in with you. It is inspiring, but I don't think I'm up for it yet. Good luck!
