Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients – flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together wet ingredients – eggs, oil, yogurt, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir in the shredded zucchini until just combined.
Then with a spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Don’t overmix the batter. Stir in ½ cup of the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the batter.
Bake the bread for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.Note: There may be slightly melted chocolate on the toothpick and that’s fine.
Remove the pan from the oven and place it on the cooling wire rack for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, run a clean knife around the edges of the bread, and carefully remove it from the pan. Let the bread slightly cool on the wire rack. Carefully, cut the bread with a serrated knife.
Enjoy a warm slice of this healthy chocolate zucchini bread with a cup of espresso!
