Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
Mix Wet Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the grated zucchini, sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix well. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Combine Dry Ingredients
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Mixtures
  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Add Chocolate Chips

Bake
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
Cool and Serve
  1. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes before cutting into squares.
