Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan thoroughly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until no lumps remain.
  3. Beat the brown sugar, oil, and eggs together until the mixture is smooth and slightly pale.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and use a spatula to fold them together until no more streaks of flour are visible.
  6. Gently stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
