  3. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. 
  4. In a separate large bowl, mash the banana with a fork. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk to combine. 
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and stir until you achieve a smooth chocolate batter. Add in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips, folding to combine.
  6. Fill each muffin cup ¾th full, and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 
  7. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the muffins to cool down for 5 minutes before serving.
