These fudgy double chocolate zucchini brownies are dense, rich, and moist, sneaking in zucchini for a healthy twist without sacrificing chocolatey goodness. Perfect for a quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour (can substitute with almond flour for gluten-free)
  • ⅓ cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar (brown sugar can be used for extra chewiness)
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 1¼ cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini), squeezed dry
  • ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips or chunks (semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini finely using a box grater or food processor. Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly blended.
  4. Add the sugar and oil to the dry ingredients and stir gently until the mixture looks crumbly but starts to come together.
  5. Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to form a smooth batter.
  6. Fold in the squeezed grated zucchini gently to keep the batter tender.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks evenly.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to avoid soggy brownies. Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Fold ingredients gently to keep brownies tender. Check doneness early to prevent overbaking. For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil and dairy-free chocolate chips. Let brownies cool fully before cutting to maintain fudgy texture.
