Ingredients (Makes 12-16 brownies):

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 🍞
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder 🍫
  • 1 tsp baking powder 🧁
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda 🧪
  • 1/4 tsp salt 🧂
  • 1 cup granulated sugar 🍬
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed 🍯
  • 2 large eggs 🥚🥚
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil 🛢️
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 🍦
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini) 🥒
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional) 🍫

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Zucchini:
    • Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Squeeze out excess moisture using a paper towel or cheesecloth. 🥒💧
  2. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper. 🔥🍽️
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 🍞🍫🧂
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. 🍬🍯🥚🛢️🍦
  5. Combine and Add Zucchini:
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined. 🥄
    • Fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed. 🥒
    • Optional: Stir in chocolate chips for an extra chocolaty bite! 🍫
  6. Bake:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. 🍽️
    • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. 🕒✅
  7. Cool and Serve:
    • Let the brownies cool in the pan before slicing into squares. 🍫❄️

Tips for Success:

  • Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture from the zucchini as possible to keep the brownies from being too soggy. 💧🥒
  • For an even fudgier texture, substitute part of the vegetable oil with melted butter! 🧈
  • These brownies store well for 3-4 days at room temperature or in the fridge. 🧊

These Zucchini Brownies are a delightful, healthier twist on your regular brownies, and you’ll love how moist and rich they are! 🍫🥒🎉
