["This is an incredibly simple recipe. You shred 2 cups of zucchini (one large or two small ones) and press down with a paper towel to soak up some of the liquid. Whisk together your dry ingredients, add the sugar and wet ingredients, and mix. Next, you add the zucchini and chocolate chips, transfer to a prepared bread pan, and bake for an hour or so. Easy peasy.", "", "This bread is so moist you need to let it cool completely before eating it (a good exercise in self-control!). If you dig in while it's still hot or even warm, you will think it's underdone. Once it's cool, it's perfect. Happy snacking!", "", "1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray with non-stick cooking spray and flour an 8"" x 4"" x 2 1/2"" loaf pan and set aside.", "", "2. Use a towel or paper towels to slightly press down on the shredded zucchini to eliminate some of the moisture. Set aside.", "", "3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add the brown sugar, eggs, oil, applesauce, and vanilla. Mix to combine. Stir in the zucchini, then fold in the chocolate chips. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.", "", "4. Let the bread cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely before serving. Don't skip the cooling process - the bread will appear underdone if you slice and serve while it's still warm."]
