Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Grease two 8X8 inch bread pans and set aside.
In a bowl whisk together flour, salt, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and set aside.
In the bowl of stand mixer, beat eggs, sugar, applesauce, and canned pumpkin together until smooth. Slowly beat dry ingredients into wet ingredients until combined. Stir in shredded zucchini.
Melt chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring in 15 second intervals until smooth.
Pour 1/4 of the batter into each of the bread pans. Spoon a few tablespoons of melted chocolate over the batter and swirl into the batter with a toothpick. Pour the remaining batter into the two pans, spoon more chocolate over the batter and swirl in again.
