Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Olive oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the olive oil and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix gently. The mixture will be crumbly at this stage and that's okay.
Fold in the grated zucchini. The moisture from the zucchini will help the batter come together into a thick mixture.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter for an extra chocolatey finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Cut into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy your moist and delicious zucchini brownies!
