Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans or line with parchment.
- Grate the zucchini with the large holes on a box grater.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil, applesauce, and vanilla.
- Add the sugar mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Fold in the zucchini and chocolate chips. Don't overmix.
- Divide the batter over the two loaf pans and bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You don't need to peel the zucchini unless you use a very large garden zucchini with thick skin. If needed, use a spoon to scrape out the seeds.
- Do not squeeze excess moisture from the zucchini as the moisture is needed in this recipe.
- Do not overmix the batter, it should be stirred just until the ingredients are moist.
