With zucchini<\/a> in full harvest, why not add some of these veggies to your desserts? This zucchini bread slashes fat thanks to applesauce, which also keeps each slice satisfyingly moist and tasty. A pinch of cinnamon \u2014 and a decadent serving of chocolate chips \u2014 will leave your kitchen smelling wonderful, and your taste buds overly content. Plus, with fewer than 130 calories per serving, there’s plenty to be happy about, guilt-free. Omit the chocolate chips altogether if you’re looking to lower the sugar content even further, and feel free to add walnuts for an extra wholesome crunch factor.<\/p>\n
