chocolate chip zucchini bread

If your zucchini plants are normal, then chances are you've got more zucchini than you know what to do with. I found this recipe on allrecipes.com, but I adapted it into a somewhat healthier version by tweaking a few things here and there based on what people suggested in the comments section. . . used less oil, added in some whole wheat flour, reduced the total amount of sugar and mixed in some brown sugar just for fun. Perhaps the addition of chocolate chips negate the healthy changes. Oh well, it's really good and super moist!
