Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

I'm baking and planning what to have my students do for our last day of the semester. I think we'll play with fairy tales. A.S. Byatt writes: "The best single description I know of the world of the fairy tale is that of Max Luthi who describes it as an abstract world, full of discrete, interchangeable people, objects, and incidents, all of which are isolated and are nevertheless interconnected, in a kind of web or network of two-dimensional meaning." She goes on to say: "the fairy tale world is called up for me by the half-abstract patternings of Paul Klee, of the mosaic definition of Kandinsky's early 'Russian' paintings of horses and forests."

Oh, the buzzer just went off!

Here's the recipe. It's good.

3/4 cup sugar
3 tbl. vegetable oil
2 large free-range, vegetarian fed eggs
1 cup applesauce
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbl. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
cooking spray

1. Preheat the oven to 350
2. Place first 3 ingrediants in a large bowl; beat at low speed until well blended. Stir in applesauce.
3. Combine dry ingrediants (flour through salt) in a bowl and mix together. Add dry mixture to wet and stir until wet through (my favorite part). Stir in zucchini and chocolate chips.
4. Pour batter into a loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Cook at 350 for one hour or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out almost clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes on a wire rack; remove and cool completely.
