"Healthy" Chocolate Zucchini bread

So as I was finishing up the large loaf of chocolate zucchini bread that I made, yes- LAST NIGHT, I decided to post the recipe. I wanted to try and make a slightly healthier version of chocolate zucchini bread so when I ate a whole loaf in less than 24 hours I would feel 3 degrees less guilty. This is super duper moist and chocolatey! It looks a little less pretty than regular zucchini bread (the top cooks different) but it is still presentable and I think it tastes better. Really, I will never do the regular recipe again because I loved this one so much.

3 Eggs
1/4 Cup oil
3/4 Cup apple sauce
1 Cup sugar (you could go up to 2 cups if you want a sweeter bread)
1 Tablespoon vanilla
3 cups Whole wheet flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
2 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
1 Cup dark cocoa powder
chocolate chips (you can decide how much you desire )

Mix together eggs, oil, apple sauce, and vanilla. Stir in sugar. In another bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and cocoa. Combine with wet ingrediants. Fold in zucchini and then the chocolate chips. Fill into greased loaf pans (I made 3, but you could do 2). Cook at 325 for 45-60 minutes.
