Instructions

- In a separate large bowl whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla, oil, then add the zucchini and whisk to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just until combined taking care to not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan. For a better look, sprinkle some extra chocolate chips or chunks on top of the loaf before baking.
- Place in the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
