These fudgy double chocolate chip zucchini brownies are a simple, one-bowl dessert that sneaks in veggies while delivering rich chocolate flavor and moist texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125g)
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (50g)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil (80ml)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (175g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, letting some overhang for easy brownie lifting later.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Gently squeeze out excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel, but do not dry completely.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Stir in the sugar and vegetable oil until the mixture looks sandy and evenly blended.
  5. Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and glossy.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini gently, ensuring even distribution without over-mixing.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking at 30 minutes with a toothpick; a few moist crumbs are perfect.
  10. Cool completely in the pan for at least 20 minutes before lifting out and cutting.

Notes

Do not over-mix the batter to keep brownies fudgy. Gently squeeze zucchini to remove excess moisture but retain some for moist texture. Use good quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for best flavor. Check brownies starting at 28 minutes to avoid overbaking. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free chocolate chips and flax eggs. Variations include adding nuts, cinnamon, cayenne, or raspberries.
