Spiced Chocolate Zucchini Bread for 12

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or oil, or line it with parchment paper.
2. Grate the zucchini using the medium holes of a box grater, ensuring pieces are uniform.
3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
4. Whisk the oil and sugar together until combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each, then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Stir the grated zucchini into the wet mixture until evenly distributed.
6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Stir just until no streaks of flour remain; do not overmix.
7. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
