In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and mashed banana. Add in olive oil and kefir. Mix well. Add in shredded zucchini and mix again.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet mixture. Mix just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
