Ingredients:

• ½ cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ cup (125ml) vegetable oil
• ½ cup (100g) coconut sugar/raw sugar

Method:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 5x9 loaf pan with non-stick spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the oil, vanilla extract, and both sugars. Beat until well combined.
• Stir in the eggs, mashed bananas, and shredded zucchini until everything is well incorporated.
• Gently fold in the dry ingredients from step 2 until just combined. Don't overmix!
• Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips.
• Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
• Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs sticking to it.
• Let the bread cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
