Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • ½ cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (about 180g) grated zucchini (squeezed to remove excess moisture)
  • ½ cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (90g) mini dark chocolate chips (optional)
  • 2 ounces (56g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped and melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch (23×23 cm) baking pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Grate zucchini finely and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Melt bittersweet chocolate in 20-second intervals in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  6. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in grated zucchini and melted chocolate carefully.
  8. Stir in semi-sweet and mini dark chocolate chips.
  9. Pour batter evenly into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  11. Cool brownies completely in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Drain zucchini thoroughly to avoid soggy brownies. Do not overmix batter to keep brownies tender. Use room-temperature eggs for better blending. Start checking brownies at 28 minutes to avoid overbaking. Cooling completely before slicing helps prevent crumbling. For dairy-free, use flax eggs and dairy-free chocolate chips. Muffin tin baking time is 18-22 minutes.
