Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cups finely shredded zucchini (do not drain)
  • 1 ¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  3. Sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; then gradually fold this mixture into the wet ingredients.
  4. Gently fold in the finely shredded zucchini until fully incorporated. If the batter appears dry, let it rest for five minutes to allow moisture from the zucchini to blend in.
  5. Stir in semi-sweet chocolate chunks until evenly distributed within the batter.
  6. Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  8. Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares.
