# Instructions:

01 - Start by heating your oven to 175°C. Coat a loaf pan generously with non-stick cooking oil.
02 - In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside for later.
03 - In a large bowl, stir together the oil, vanilla, brown sugar, and white sugar. Crack in the eggs, then mash in the bananas and fold in the zucchini.
04 - Gradually combine the dry mixture into the wet one, stirring gently until smooth.
05 - Gently stir in the chocolate chips until evenly spread out.
06 - Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for 45–60 minutes. It's done when a toothpick comes out clean after poking the center.
07 - Wait for the loaf to cool completely before slicing it. Store slices in an airtight container for freshness.

# Notes:

01 - For richer flavor, opt for high-quality cocoa and consider sprinkling in a touch of nutmeg.
