Description
Moist and fudgy chocolate chip zucchini brownies that are surprisingly easy to make.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and applesauce.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
Notes
- Ensure your zucchini is well-drained after grating to avoid excess moisture.
- You can add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for an extra flavor boost.
