Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil), Greek yogurt (or sour cream), granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Carefully fold in the shredded zucchini until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about an hour before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
