A Dash of Advice

Tip: You will need about 1 medium zucchini to get 1 cup. Grate zucchini using the fine side of a box grater and gently squeeze between paper towels to remove excess liquid.Variation: Replace chocolate chips with dried cranberries, raisins or chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans (or simply omit, if preferred).Tip: For nut allergies, omit almond meal and substitute with oat flour
