Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a 9 x 13 inch pan with non-stick spray.
Grate enough zucchini to measure 2 cups (approximately 2 zucchini).
In a large bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla, and mix until smooth.
Incorporate cinnamon, flour, salt, and baking powder into the mixture until everything is well combined.
Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, gently press additional chocolate chips into the top before cooling.

Notes

For an extra touch, add nuts or seeds for added texture.
Store in an airtight container to keep the bars moist and fresh.
These bars can be frozen for up to 3 months—just be sure to wrap them well.
