• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar

• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Zucchini, grated
• 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Fold in the grated zucchini, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk to create a moist batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
