• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 3 eggs

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.

Step 2

Combine flour, cocoa, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in large bowl; mix well. Combine sugar and eggs in a separate bowl; beat until well blended. Add oil and vanilla; beat until combined. Stir in zucchini. Add flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips. Spoon evenly into prepared loaf pans.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 to 60 minutes. Cool bread in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
