Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 8.5-4.5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, ensuring 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 and well combined.
Stir the shredded zucchini into the mixture until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips evenly into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula, and add the dark chocolate chunks on top.
Bake for 55 to 70 minutes, starting to check for doneness at 55 minutes with a toothpick inserted in the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs.Appearance should be set and slightly cracked.
Allow the zucchini bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment paper overhang, placing it on a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your extra chocolatey, extra fudgy double chocolate zucchini bread!
