Scale
- 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.

- Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them in now.

- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Fresh zucchini ensures moisture and flavor. You can swap applesauce for vegetable oil for a lower-fat option.
