1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for pan
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp. Carolina Reaper Powder or flakes (or another dried superhot)

2 cups grated zucchini
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Optional - pinch of flaked sea salt for topping before cooking.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Grease or line with parchment a 9"x5" loaf pan and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out any excess.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pepper powder and salt.
In another large bowl, stir together sugar, egg, and egg yolk until smooth, 1-2 minutes.
Add melted butter and vanilla and mix until smooth, then fold in zucchini.

Let bread cool in pan 10 minutes, then remove and place onto a wire rack to cool completely.
