Delicious chocolate chip zucchini bars that are moist and flavorful, perfect for a sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and mix well.
- Gently fold in the shredded zucchini until evenly distributed.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the bars to cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Ensure the zucchini is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- These bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to add nuts for extra crunch if desired.
