This is a lot of calories per serving…can I reduce and/or replace some of the sugar to lower the calories?

My granddaughters love my zucchini bread, plus they love chocolate chips or anything chocolate. The last time I made the bread, I mixed in the chocolate chips; however, they all sank to the bottom. How do I prevent that? I thought about using mini chocolate chips instead.

  If you lightly flour the chocolate chips (or fruit) then add to the batter they won’t sink. Good luck.
