Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9” x 5” loaf pan with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a blender, pulse oats to the consistency of coarse flour. Add all remaining ingredients except zucchini and chocolate chips. Blend until smooth and uniform, stopping and stirring as needed.

Step 3

Grate zucchini and fold it into the batter, along with 1 1/2 tbsp. chocolate chips. Transfer to the pan, and smooth out the top.

Step 4

Top with remaining 1 1/2 tbsp. chocolate chips, and lightly press to adhere. Bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
