CHOCOLATE BLUEBERRY ZUCCHINI BREAD
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!

- Whisk together the all-purpose and whole-wheat flours, the baking soda and salt. In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, cinnamon and walnuts. In a large bowl, beat the brown sugar, butter and oil until fluffy. If necessary, use the back of a spoon to press out any lumps in the brown sugar.

WHOLE-WHEAT CHOCOLATE CHIP LOAF CAKE
Nutty whole-wheat flour and semisweet chocolate are a winning pair in this easy-to-make one-bowl loaf cake. Whole-wheat flour gives this cake depth and a nubbly texture that is tastier than that of your average all-purpose flour, and semisweet chocolate makes it a special treat. You can use whatever type of chocolate chips you prefer, and chopped chocolate works, too, if that's what you have on hand. You can also use a greater proportion of whole-wheat flour if you like - up to about 1 cup/128 grams of the total 1½ cups flour works well - but the cake will be a bit more dense. It will still be delicious, but it will have a slightly different texture.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and butter a light-colored metal 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan. Line the pan with a strip of parchment paper that hangs over the two long sides.
- In a large bowl, vigorously whisk eggs and brown sugar until light and smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Add the sour cream, melted butter, oil, vanilla extract and salt, and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the baking powder and baking soda.
- Add both flours and all but one 1 heaping tablespoon of the chocolate chips. Stir with a rubber spatula until combined and no streaks of flour remain.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle with the reserved chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon of granulated or turbinado sugar and a sprinkle of salt. Bake until golden and puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean or with a bit of melted chocolate, 50 to 60 minutes.
- Carefully run a thin knife or offset spatula around the edges of the pan not protected by the parchment paper. Set the pan on a rack to cool for about 15 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper to lift the cake out of the pan and set it back on the rack to cool completely. Keep leftovers loosely covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips for Baking a Delicious Whole Wheat Chocolate Blueberry Cake:
- Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries burst with flavor and create a vibrant contrast against the chocolate cake batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter until just combined, being careful not to overbeat.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking can dry out the cake, so keep a close eye on it during baking.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
- Enjoy the cake fresh: This cake is best enjoyed the day it is made, but it can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
