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
- 1.5 cups Zucchini, grated (about 2 medium zucchinis)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the grated zucchini, applesauce, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until the mixture forms a thick batter. The moisture from the zucchini should help bind the ingredients together; if the batter seems too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water, one at a time, until it comes together.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the batter for added sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into 12 pieces.
Serve and enjoy these delicious, fat-free zucchini brownies!
