1/2 cup (40 g) unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/2 cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup (125 ml) vegetable oil
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated white sugar
1/2 cup (110 g) light brown sugar, packed

2 cups shredded zucchini (approximately 300 g or two medium zucchinis, patted dry)
3/4 cup mashed ripe bananas (approximately 175 g or two medium bananas)
1 cup (175 g) chocolate chips

Method

Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 5×9 loaf pan with non-stick spray, set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together cocoa, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together oil, vanilla and both sugars. Stir in eggs, bananas and shredded zucchini. Stir until well combined.

Fold in dry ingredients just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake in preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean with a few moist crumbs sticking to the toothpick.

Remove from oven and let cool completely. Slice and serve. Store covered at room temperature.
