Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add 2 oz dark chocolate chips. Wrap with cling film and microwave for 30 seconds or until melted.
Mix the wet ingredients: Add 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup honey, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp salt to the melted chocolate bowl. Whisk to combine.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture into the chocolate. Mix evenly with a whisk until just combined.
Add zucchini: Fold 2 cups shredded zucchini into the batter and mix with a spatula.
Bake the brownie: Line a square cake pan with parchment paper and pour the batter in. Bake the brownies for 20 minutes.
Add more chocolate: Once the timer rings, take the pan out of the oven immediately and scatter the remaining 1 oz chocolate chips on top of the brownies while still hot. Let them cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
