Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups (120-180g) finely grated zucchini, lightly squeezed
  • 3/4 cup (130g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips/chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Grease lightly if desired.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and squeeze gently to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth and glossy, about 2 minutes.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract until batter is shiny and smooth.
  6. Gently fold in the grated zucchini.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding carefully with a rubber spatula to avoid overmixing. Batter will be thick and fudgy.
  8. Fold in 3/4 cup chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.
  9. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  11. Cool brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

Squeeze zucchini well to avoid soggy batter. Fold ingredients gently to prevent tough brownies. Let brownies rest overnight for improved texture and flavor. If batter is too runny, add a tablespoon of flour. Avoid slicing warm brownies to prevent crumbling.
