Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F and line a 9”x 5” loaf pan with parchment paper or grease and flour it well.
After you grate the zucchini (on the coarse side of a box grater), grab a handful at a time and squeeze it over the sink to remove a bit of the moisture.
In a large bowl whisk oil with the eggs (adding one egg at a time). Whisk in molasses, honey and vanilla. Stir in zucchini.
In another bowl whisk the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Add the molasses mixture to the flour mixture and stir until almost combined. Stir in all but 2 Tbsp. of the chocolate chips.
Scrape batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 2 Tbsp. of chocolate chips.
Bake 40-45 minutes or until the bread feels set when tapped on the top.
Let cool for about 15 minutes before removing from pan.
