Description

Rich and moist chocolate chip zucchini brownie bars.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting into bars.

Notes

  • Squeeze the shredded zucchini very well to remove excess moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter.
