Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened cocoa powder (50 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil (120 milliliters)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) granulated sugar (100 grams)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) brown sugar, packed (100 grams)
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) dairy-free semisweet chocolate chips (90 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, mix the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Add the vanilla extract and egg to the sugar mixture, and beat until smooth.
- Stir in the grated zucchini until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Squeeze out excess moisture from grated zucchini to avoid a soggy texture in the batter.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for a more intense chocolate flavor in the brownies.
- For a fudgy texture, slightly underbake the brownies and allow them to cool completely before cutting.
