Print Recipe

A moist, fudgy chocolate brownie made with grated zucchini for added moisture and a healthier twist. This easy one-bowl recipe delivers rich chocolate flavor without the fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 medium zucchini (about 1 cup or 150g), grated and squeezed to remove excess moisture
  • ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips or chunks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini finely and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add the granulated sugar to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  5. Pour in the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed.
  7. Optionally, fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
  8. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
  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 slicing.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to avoid soggy brownies. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Avoid overmixing to keep brownies fudgy. Tent with foil if edges bake too fast. Optional add-ins include nuts, cinnamon, cayenne, or berries.
