Chocolate Blueberry Zucchini Bread image

Getting my super picky kids to eat vegetables is always a challenge. My oldest loves chocolate and my youngest loves blueberries, so I combined the two into one recipe. I used a blend of whole wheat and white flours, added some flax seed, and tried to keep both sugar and fat content on the lower end. Enjoy!

This was a fun recipe to try. I've never made zucchini bread with chocolate and blueberries before. It was a nice change from the traditional recipe.

This bread was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
