Ingredients

3 cups Flour
1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
3/4 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Espresso Powder
1½ cups Sugar
1 cup Olive Oil
2 large Eggs
2 teaspoons Almond Extract
3½ cups Zucchini peeled and chopped finely
1/2 cup Chocolate Chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉ and grease a loaf pan with butter, shortening, or oil (I usually use coconut oil).
In a medium-sized bowl whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder together until combined.
In a large bowl beat the sugar, olive oil, and eggs together until smooth. Stir in the almond extract and then gently fold in the zucchini.
Pour half of the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and continue to gently fold in until just combined. Repeat with the remaining dry mixture.
Place the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle with chocolate chips (or desired toppings) and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Place the loaf pan on a baking rack for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
