Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bars

Want to see where my fresh garden veggies come from?

My parent's fabulous garden!

I am so lucky that Mom and Dad plant all of those yummy veggies and they are more than happy to share.

Onions, tomatoes, green beans, peas, corn, broccoli, green peppers, cucumbers, potatoes and zucchini - Yum!!

Zucchini is one of my favs, so I dice it up and freeze it so I have it all winter too :)

It's wonderful in soup and muffins when the temperatures start to get cold.

I made these zucchini chocolate chip bars from the first zucchini of the season and they were quite tasty.

I used 1/2 cup fresh ground whole wheat flour when I made these, but you can just use 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour if you prefer.  Hope you like them too!

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bars

2 cups zucchini, grated (I leave the peel on)

3/4 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar.

Add eggs and vanilla.  Add dry ingredients and then the zucchini.  Fold in chocolate chips.

Pour batter into your bake dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool and cut into bars.
