Method

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or 8.5x4.5-inch loaf pan (for a taller loaf as shown). Set aside.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, , , , and together. Mix in the chocolate chips.
  3. 3
    In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, yogurt, , and vanilla together until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Fold in the zucchini. The batter is very thick.
  4. 4
    Bake for 45–55 minutes, making sure to loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil halfway through to prevent the top from over-cooking. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with only a few small moist crumbs. The 9x5-inch pan takes closer to 45 minutes, and the 8x4-inch pan takes closer to 55 minutes.
  5. 5
    Remove bread from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan set on a wire rack for 1 hour.
  6. 6
    Remove bread from the pan and place the loaf directly on the wire rack to cool completely, or enjoy right away.
