1 ripe banana
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Heat the oven to 350 F and grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking oil.

Stir in the zucchini, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Fold in the nuts and 2/7 cup chocolate chips, then spread the batter in the pan.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
