Not your typical zucchini bread! The zucchini gives this quick bread great moisture, but really it's an excellent way for chocolate lovers to get their daily vegetable intake! It's a great alternative to brownies.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups peeled and grated zucchini
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch ground allspice
1 (12 ounce) bag chocolate chips
½ cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
