Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut sugar, 2 tbsp. coconut oil, eggs, applesauce and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well-blended.

Step 4

Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt and stir to combine, taking care not to over-stir.

Step 5

Add the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips and fold into the mixture until well-blended.

Step 7

Place in the oven and bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a knife or toothpick comes out clean from the center of the loaf.

Remove the pan from the oven and let rest in for 10 minutes. If desired, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
