Zucchini Brownies Recipe
Report
Zucchini Brownies not only taste AMAZING, but they sneak in an extra serving of vegetables! Shredded zucchini is stirred into a flour, sugar, and cocoa mixture, then baked in the oven.

Ingredients
- ½ cup butter salted, melted, or vegetable oil
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 cups flour all purpose or gluten-free 1-to-1 blend, divided
- ½ cup cocoa powder regular
- 1 ½ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. cinnamon optional
- ½ tsp. salt
- 2 ½ cups zucchini shredded, do NOT drain
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips milk or semi-sweet
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine the melted butter or oil with the vanilla and sugars in a large bowl.
- Add in 1 cup of flour, the cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well combined. (The batter will be pretty thick at this point.)
- Fold in the shredded zucchini and let sit for 5 minutes. The batter should start to thin out. Once it does, add in the remaining flour and chocolate chips, mix until well combined, and let rest for another 4-5 minutes. After this time, the batter should be easy to mix.
- Spread the brownie batter into a 9x13-inch baking dish that has been sprayed liberally with non-stick cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges start to pull away from the pan and a toothpick when inserted in comes out with crumbs.
- Let cool to room temperature before slicing in.
Notes
- How to prep ahead of time: You can make this entire dish a day or two before you need it.
- How to store: Store any uneaten brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 to 4 days. Or, keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- How to freeze: Wrap individual servings of brownies in wax paper or plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer safe bag or storage container. Zucchini brownies will freeze for up to 3-6 months.
- How to reheat: If you want to warm up the brownies, pop one in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. You can also use the toaster oven for a few minutes.
