Zucchini bread, health level: medium

Well hello, happy Sunday! How are you? It's been a while, and I've missed you. That's me talking to this zucchini bread, because it was just that good. Aren't I funny?? But seriously this bread was just the right sweetness, dense but still fluffy, and just enough health factor to justify eating an undisclosed amount while watching Riverdale alone.
I made some amendments to this recipe to fit with what I already had in my pantry, solidifying my belief that applesauce and bananas solve most life problems. Eat up!!

What you will need for my version:

• 2.5 cups old fashioned oats (and a blender/food processor)
• 2-3 large bananas 1 cup mashed (very easy if you throw in the blender post oats)
• 2 large eggs lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup apple sauce (or your choice of sweetener)
• 2.5 cups shredded zucchini peeled or unpeeled
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips (this is a non-negotiable)

Other fun ideas:

• Swap 1/2 cup oat flour for flaxseed because why not
• Toasted walnuts in addition to chocolate chips
• Add shredded carrot/apple for added texture & color

With love and sticky fingers,
