Eggless Chocolate Zucchini Bread

I was looking for an eggless bread recipe since I had no eggs on hand. I did not have any cocoa powder on hand so instead used hot chocolate mix as a substitute for the taste and did not add any sugar for the modification. Thus my Eggless Chocolate Zucchini Bread was created.

5. Pour batter into the mini-loaf pans, filling them evenly into each.
6. Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted into bread comes out clean.
7. Let the bread cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. After the bread has cooled completely, wrap up the loaves in saran wrap and foil or serve warm on a plate.
