Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray an 8x8x2 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Mix flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a bowl.

Beat together the butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light colored and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla.

Gradually stir in the flour mixture, then zucchini, walnuts and chocolate chips.
