Zucchini Brownies

adapted from Fit Momma Aimee

1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups zucchini, shredded (about 2 or 3 zucchini, depending on size)
1 egg
3/4 sugar
3/4 brown sugar
1/2 cup plain yogurt, non-fat
1/2 applesauce, unsweetened
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, semi-sweet

Mix all ingredients minus the chocolate chips until combined.  Spread evenly into a greased 9x13 pan.
Sprinkle chocolate chips over top of batter.

Cook at 350 degrees for 45 - 50 minutes.  To check, insert toothpick and it should come out clean.

Trainer Momma Tip:  ** This must cool COMPLETELY before you cut and eat it.  I like to make it at night, let it cool overnight, then serve it the next day.  It just doesn't taste the same warm.**
