Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces (115g) dark chocolate, melted (70% cocoa recommended)
  • 1 cup (120g) zucchini, finely grated and gently squeezed to remove excess moisture
  • Optional add-ins:
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using the fine side of a box grater. Place in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze gently to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until no lumps remain.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Pour in the melted dark chocolate and mix until fully incorporated.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and any optional nuts or chocolate chips.
  8. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking at 22 minutes by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Squeeze zucchini thoroughly to avoid soggy brownies. Use both cocoa powder and melted dark chocolate for deep chocolate flavor. Avoid overmixing to keep brownies light and fudgy. Check doneness early to prevent overbaking. Let brownies cool completely before slicing for best texture.
