Description
These rich and fudgy chocolate chip zucchini brownies are the perfect way to sneak in veggies while delivering intense chocolate flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
1 cup grated zucchini
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
Grate the zucchini and allow it to drain in a colander for a few minutes.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in vanilla extract and grated zucchini until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let cool slightly before cutting into squares.
Notes
Lightly draining the zucchini helps reduce excess water without drying out the batter.
Do not overmix the batter — mix just until combined for tender brownies.
For a richer chocolate experience, use dark chocolate chips or chunks.
Brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
