Make these rich, fudgy zucchini brownies that are incredibly moist. You get intense chocolate flavor while sneaking in garden zucchini for a healthier-feeling dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar with the eggs until well combined.
  4. Whisk in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the finely grated and squeezed zucchini. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Squeeze the excess water from the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step prevents the brownies from becoming too wet.
  • For an extra rich flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • If you want a crackly top, do not overbake the brownies.
