Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the grated zucchini and the dairy-free chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
