Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Chocolate Zucchini Bread
This is a moist delicious bread. More cake like then bread, but still good. I have made a few alterations from the original recipe that I altered even before I made it. Feel free to alter you specifications and post how they turn out.

This can be made dairy free by removing the chocolate chips or using dairy free chocolate.

3 eggs
1 cup olive oil (I cut that to 1/2 cup)
2 cups sugar (I cut that to 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup apple sauce (I add 3 individual pots of apple sauce, motts. It is not exact amount.)
2 tsp Vanilla
2 cups grated Zucchini
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips (I cut that to 1/2 cup, J does not like too much and I have also tried mini chocolate chips, which are not so obviously chunks of chocolate but still good.)

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 and grease to loaf pans or line with parchment (this make for easy removal.)

Combine eggs, olive oil, sugar, apple sauce and Vanilla. After combined add Zucchini and mix.

In a separate bowl combine all your dry ingredients.

Add dry ingredient to wet in three batches until just blended.

Divide batter between the two pans and place in oven for 1 hour. Test after 45 minutes. If toothpick comes out clean (try to avoid the chocolate chips, they will always look moist :)

Once done remove from oven and place on cooling racks for 10 minutes before removing from pan.

Cool completely and enjoy. This recipe is really easy and tasty
