Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray an 8×4-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the vegetable oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Add the cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder to the mixture and stir until combined.
Gradually mix in the flour, then fold in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips until just mixed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, topping with additional chocolate chips if desired. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes

For a healthier twist, consider using applesauce instead of some of the oil.
Feel free to add nuts for extra crunch and flavor.
This bread can be frozen for up to 3 months; just wrap it tightly.
