Chocolate Zucchini Bread

I got this recipe from my mom who's a great baker.  

It's a favorite way to prepare zucchini in our home.

Ingredients:

2 C flour

1/2 t baking powder

1 t baking soda

1 t salt

1/2 t ground cinnamon

3 eggs

1 C sugar

1 C brown sugar

1/2 C oil

1/2 C applesauce

1 t vanilla

2 C grated zucchini

1/3 C cocoa power

1 C semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Grease and flour two 8x4 inch loaf pans and set aside.

Whisk together first 5 dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.

In a separate bowl beat eggs with mixer until light and foamy.  Add the sugars, oil, applesauce, cocoa, and vanilla and beat until creamy.  Stir in grated zucchini.  Mix in dry ingredients until just incorporated.  Do not over mix.  Fold in chocolate chips.  Pour equally into prepared loaf pans and bake 45-50 minutes.  Turn loafs onto wire racks to cool.  Makes 2 loaves.
