Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1⁄2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of finely shredded zucchini
- 3⁄4 cup of chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter will be thick.
- Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- You can use gluten-free flour as a substitute for all-purpose flour if needed.
