Fudgy Zucchini Brownies are rich, moist chocolate brownies that cleverly incorporate shredded zucchini for added moisture and nutrition without sacrificing indulgent flavor.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini (unpeeled)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, combine sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  4. Fold in the shredded zucchini.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Do not squeeze out the zucchini unless it’s extremely watery—its moisture helps make the brownies fudgy.
  • Use a fine grater for the zucchini to ensure a smooth texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
  • These brownies freeze well; thaw overnight in the fridge for best results.
