  • 1½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and butter an 9x5 loaf pan.

  3. Whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
  4. Whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Add the zucchini and dry ingredients, then fold in the chocolate chips.
