Ingredients

4 eggs
2/3 cup honey
1/2 cup coconut oil
3/4 cup brown sugar light or dark
2 tsps vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsps baking soda
2/3 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups shredded zucchini
2 1/2 cups chocolate chips, mixture of semi-sweet and milk chocolate

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).
Grease and flour two loaf pans, each one measuring 8 1/2″ x 4 1/2″. Set aside.
Grate or shred enough zucchini to make 3 cups. Set aside.
Melt the coconut oil to use in the next step.
Beat eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Add salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cocoa and flour. Mix well, but don’t overmix it.
Stir in zucchini and 2 cups of chocolate chips.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pans and sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.
Bake 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Remove bread from oven. Let bread rest in pan for 15 minutes.
Run knife around the edge of pans to help loosen the bread. Remove from pans and let cool completely.

Notes

Zucchini bread freezes better and stays fresher as a whole, uncut loaf.
When prepping, remember that grating zucchini produces smaller pieces than shredding it. If “hiding the evidence” is one of your goals, I would suggest grating it.
To loosen the bread when removing it from the pan, use a plastic knife or thin nylon spatula rather than a metal knife so you don't scratch the pan.
If you like to mix things up, experiment with different flavors of chips. Peanut butter, caramel, butterscotch - or combine any of these with chocolate chips.
