Cinnamon Chocolate Zucchini Bread Delight

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 350°F and greasing two 9x5-inch loaf pans. In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose and whole wheat flours, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until everything is well combined. In another bowl, whisk the brown sugar, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold the shredded zucchini into the wet ingredients, then gently stir in the dry ingredients just until everything comes together—try not to overmix. Toss in the cinnamon baking chips and give it one last gentle stir. Divide the batter evenly between your prepared pans and pop them in the oven. Bake for about 55 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden. Let the loaves cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
