Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs until well blended. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla, then add the grated zucchini.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, whisking until just moistened. Carefully fold in the chocolate chips.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60-80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Make sure the zucchini is well grated and evenly distributed for the best texture.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep it moist and fresh for several days.
This bread can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, and it also freezes well.
