Preparation Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray.
Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder in a large bowl.
In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Place the pan in the oven and reduce the temperature to 325°F.
Bake for 80 to 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Best stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Great with a dollop of vanilla yogurt.
