Using Greek Yogurt makes this recipe healthier than usual, and sweetened by chocolate chips.
My son sprayed the loaf pan, squeezed in a splash of lemon juice, shredded the zucchini, held the grater while I shredded more zucchini, and finally decided to rest (thank goodness)! We baked a scrumptious yet healthy treat for everyone enjoy!
