Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch baking tin and line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another large bowl, whisk the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing with a silicone spatula until just combined. Fold in the shredded zucchini and 1 cup of chocolate chips.
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking tin and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until cooked through. Let cool in the baking tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Make sure to measure the shredded zucchini after it has been packed.
For added flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips.
