Made with fresh zucchini, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips, these moist and fudgy brownies are a sweet, guilt-free dessert. Packed with hidden veggies, they’re a great way to sneak in extra nutrients while satisfying your chocolate cravings.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup zucchini, grated (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until fully combined.
  • Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips (and optional nuts, if using).
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For an extra fudgy texture, underbake slightly and allow the brownies to set for a longer period after baking.
  • You can replace the zucchini with shredded carrots for a different flavor twist.
  • These brownies are great on their own or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
