Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup avocado oil canola oil, or vegetable oil
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 2 cups shredded zucchini don’t squeeze out the moisture
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9x13-inch metal baking pan with cooking spray and set it aside.
- In a stand mixer, blend together the sugar, oil, and flour until the mixture has a texture similar to wet sand. It may appear dry, but that’s perfectly fine.
- While the mixer is on low speed, gradually add the cocoa powder, grated zucchini, vanilla extract, salt, and baking soda. Continue mixing until everything is well incorporated. The zucchini will add moisture to the mixture. Fold in one cup of chocolate chips.
- Transfer the brownie mixture into the prepared pan and top with the remaining chocolate chips. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the brownies are firm.
- Allow the brownies to cool fully on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy.
