These fudgy double chocolate zucchini brownies are moist, rich, and easy to make without a mixer. The shredded zucchini keeps them tender and adds a subtle earthiness, making them a perfect sneaky veggie dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, unpeeled)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free option)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper with an overhang.
  2. Shred about 1 cup of zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine melted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Let cool about 5 minutes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs until combined. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Slowly pour the cooled melted butter and chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while stirring gently.
  6. Fold in the shredded zucchini until evenly distributed.
  7. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  8. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and cutting into squares.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to avoid soggy brownies. Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Avoid overmixing after adding dry ingredients to keep brownies fudgy. Let brownies cool completely before cutting for best texture. Metal pans conduct heat more evenly than glass.
