Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup canola oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ cup sour cream
1 ½ cups grated and strained zucchini
½ cup mini chocolate chips

Topping

2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a large 9" bread pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Mix the 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoon granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon together and set aside.
Whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, beat together ½ cup sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup canola oil, and 2 eggs for about 1-2 minutes until slightly fluffy. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and ¼ cup sour cream.
Fold in the 1 ½ cups grated and strained zucchini. Add the flour mixture, stir to combine, and lastly fold in the ½ cup mini chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the bread pan. Sprinkle the topping mixture on the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Oven temperatures vary, so just make sure a toothpick entered in the center comes clean.
Let cool for about 5-10 minutes and remove from pan.
