Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups shredded zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- ½ cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chunks
- ¼ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until well combined. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, then mix again.
- Stir in the shredded zucchini (no need to squeeze out the moisture) until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped dark chocolate.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Zucchini: You can leave the skin on the zucchini for extra nutrients and texture.
- Storage: Store these brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Chocolate: Feel free to use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate if you prefer a different flavor profile.
