Recipe Notes
- If desired, top these brownies with chocolate frosting or chocolate ganache.
- The batter will be thick, but will loosen up with the moisture from the grated zucchini.
Here's how to make it:
- Line a 13x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Mist with nonstock cooking spray.
- Stir together the vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, water and vanilla in a mixing bowl.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Add this mixture to the wet mixture.
- Stir in the grated zucchini until well combined. (Batter will be thick.) Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 25 minutes or until they just start to pull away from the sides of the pan. Remove and cool before cutting into squares.
