Instructions

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 175 °C and line a baking pan with baking paper.
  2. 2Finely grate the zucchini. Key trick: don't squeeze the zucchini too much! We need their natural moisture for a moist bread, just gently blot them with a paper towel if they're extremely watery.
  3. 3In a large bowl, mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. 4In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla until the mixture is completely smooth.
  5. 5Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and gently stir with a spatula. When the flour is almost fully incorporated, add the grated zucchini and 3/4 of the chocolate chunks. Stir just enough to combine everything.
  6. 6Pour the batter into the baking pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chunks on top.
  7. 7Bake for 50–60 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool completely before slicing.

Nutritional benefits
