Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla extract until combined.
Mix in flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until just combined; the batter will be dry.
Fold in the shredded zucchini and let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks; if too dry, allow it to rest another few minutes before mixing again.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with crumbs but no wet batter.
Cool completely before slicing into squares.
