Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
In a large bowl, mix eggs, melted butter, oil, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until smooth.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Add shredded zucchini and 3/4 cup of chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean from the center.
Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
