Steps

1

Heat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
2

In a large bowl, whisk eggs, brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and salt until smooth and glossy.
3

Add grated zucchini and mix with a spatula until incorporated.
4

Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda into the bowl. Stir just until combined.
5

Add all but 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips to the batter and mix until evenly distributed.
6

Transfer batter to the prepared pan. Sprinkle with coarse sugar and reserved chocolate chips, pressing them in slightly.
7

Bake 75–80 minutes, until a skewer comes out with a few moist crumbs or melted chocolate.
8

Cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Lift out using parchment and cool completely on a rack before slicing.
