Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup spelt flour, such as Bob's Red Mill
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup safflower oil
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 cups grated zucchini (from 1 large zucchini)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)

Steps:

STEP 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat four 3-by-5 1/2-inch loaf pans with cooking spray. Line each with parchment, leaving 2 inches of overhang on long sides. Spray parchment. STEP 2 Whisk together flours, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, applesauce, sugar, zucchini, and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until combined. Stir in chocolate. STEP 3 Divide batter evenly among prepared pans, filling each three-quarters full (about 1 1/2 cups a pan). Bake until a tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let loaves cool completely on wire racks before removing from pans. Loaves can be stored at room temperature up to 2 days.
