Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 blend)
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (unpeeled, packed)

Optional Add-ins:

  • ½ cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Sprinkle of flaky sea salt (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat and Prep – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Grate the Zucchini – Use the fine side of a box grater. Do not peel the zucchini; skin adds texture and color. Lightly blot with a paper towel to remove excess moisture—do not wring out completely.
  3. Step 3: Mix the Batter – In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oil, sugar, and vanilla. Stir in the grated zucchini.
  4. Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Step 5: Add the Goodies – Fold in chocolate chips and/or nuts if using. Batter will be thick—don’t worry, the zucchini will release moisture as it bakes.
  6. Step 6: Bake – Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Step 7: Cool & Slice – Let brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing. For extra decadence, sprinkle sea salt on top while warm.
