Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 8.5-4.5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Stir in the shredded zucchini until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Add dark chocolate chunks on top.
Bake for 55 to 70 minutes, checking for doneness at 55 minutes with a toothpick.
Allow to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then lift out using the parchment paper and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your chocolatey, fudgy zucchini bread!

Notes

For extra flavor, consider using melted coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.
You can add nuts for added texture, if desired.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
