Why Make This Recipe

Double Chocolate Zucchini Brownies are a delicious way to sneak in some veggies while satisfying your sweet tooth. These brownies are rich, fudgy, and super chocolatey. Plus, using zucchini adds moisture to the brownies, making them irresistibly soft. This recipe is perfect for anyone who loves chocolate but wants a healthier twist.

How to Make Double Chocolate Zucchini Brownies

Ingredients:

1 cup grated zucchini
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan.
In a bowl, mix together the grated zucchini, sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cool before cutting into squares and serving.

How to Serve Double Chocolate Zucchini Brownies

You can serve these brownies warm or at room temperature. They are great on their own but pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Adding a drizzle of chocolate sauce on top can also make them even more indulgent.

How to Store Double Chocolate Zucchini Brownies

To keep your brownies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay good for up to 3-4 days. If you want them to last longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. For even longer storage, consider freezing individual squares. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag.

Tips to Make Double Chocolate Zucchini Brownies

Make sure to grate the zucchini finely to ensure it mixes well into the batter.
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a tablespoon of instant coffee to enhance the chocolate taste.
If you want a healthier alternative, you can replace half of the vegetable oil with unsweetened applesauce.

Variation

You can add nuts, like walnuts or pecans, for some added crunch. If you want to change it up even more, try using white chocolate chips instead of regular chocolate chips for a different flavor.

FAQs

Can I use frozen zucchini for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen zucchini! Just make sure to thaw it first and squeeze out excess moisture.

How can I make these brownies gluten-free?
You can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in place of regular flour to make them gluten-free.

Do I have to peel the zucchini?
No, you do not need to peel the zucchini. The skin is nutritious and will blend well into the brownies.
