Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 175 °C and line a baking pan with baking paper.
2
Finely 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
In a large bowl, mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
4
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla until the mixture is completely smooth.
5
Pour 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
Pour the batter into the baking pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chunks on top.
7
Bake 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
