Chocolate Zucchini Bread / Muffins

Chocolate chips should be on the top of every loaf of bread This year, I found a 6-pack of zucchini starter plants for the same price as one plant. At the same time, the house-flippers next door took down a large portion of fence, creating a new extra-sunny, south-facing patch of garden that we didn't have before. The result is wayyyy too much zucchini for a family of 3.  I worked from  this recipe . I like it because it does use a lot of zucchini, it's delicious, and it's definitely healthy-ish. If I were going to make it often, I'd experiment with making it healthier; I think it could be good substituting most of the oil with flax seeds and applesauce, and the applesauce would allow it to have less sugar. And oats. Always oats. But as is, it's very good. The only change I made was that I inadvertently used less cocoa powder than the original recipe called for, because I tripled the recipe (TOO MUCH ZUCCHINI) and ran out. But it was plenty chocolatey
