Ingredients

• 1.5 cups (shredded) Zucchini
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until a crumbly dough forms.

Step 4

Fold in the shredded zucchini. The moisture from the zucchini will help bind the mixture into a thick batter. Mix until just combined.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top of the batter if desired.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula, ensuring the batter reaches all corners of the pan.

Step 7

Sprinkle any reserved chocolate chips over the top for a decorative touch.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).

Step 9

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor.
