Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
Grate zucchini until you have 2 cups, which is about 2 medium zucchinis.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla together until the mixture is smooth.
Incorporate cinnamon, flour, salt, and baking powder into the mixture until well combined.
Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, press additional chocolate chips into the top of the bars while they are still warm.

Notes

Ensure to measure the zucchini after shredding for accuracy.
These bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
For extra chocolate flavor, sprinkle more chocolate chips on top before baking.
