Ingredients

1. Zucchini – small-size zucchini are best, as they have much more moisture in them which is needed for making the batter. Large-size zucchini are mostly dryer! There is no water/milk/egg used to make the batter. Moisture from zucchini is crucial to make moist and fudgy brownies. Do not drain the liquid!
2. Oil – use flavorless oil like vegetable oil, canola oil, or sunflower oil.
3. Cocoa powder – Unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder is best.  It has a strong chocolate flavor. Regular cocoa powder can be used too.
4. Flour – use all-purpose plain flour. For gluten-free options use coconut flour or gluten-free oats flour.
5. Sugar – Use granular white sugar for best results. Other granulated sweeteners that you can use- are coconut sugar and erythritol. Granulated sweeteners help in the texture of the brownies.
6. Baking soda – also called bi-carbonate soda. It’s used to help the brownies rise. If you want to substitute with baking powder use 4 ½ tablespoons.
7. Vanilla extract – use good quality vanilla for better taste.
8. Salt – a pinch of sea salt enhances the taste.

You can use hot fudge sauce as a glaze for brownies too.

Step-by-step instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 150 degrees centigrade). Grease a 9×13 baking pan with butter. Line it with parchment paper.

Brownies will harden once cooled and taste even better the day after! Keep the leftovers covered in air-tight containers in the fridge. You can also freeze them.

Tips

1. Use small zucchini. It has more moisture than larger zucchini.
2. Use the small side of the grater to grate zucchini, so it gets hidden and kids won’t be able to see it.
3. Do not drain grated zucchini.
4. Measure 3 cups of grated zucchini. Don’t press it tight while measuring.
5. Use Dutch-processed cocoa powder for a stronger chocolatey taste.
6. For a rich chocolate taste add choco chunks (or choco chips) to the batter.
7. Don’t overbake.
8. Brownies will harden and set as it cool down.
9. Brownies taste even better the next day.
10. You can skip glaze or reduce the amount. Alternatively, top the brownies with choco chunks or chips as soon as they come out of the oven, they’ll melt when it’s still hot.

Storage

Fridge – Any leftovers can be covered in air-tight containers and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. They taste better the second day and keep moist for days.

Freezer – Stack up the bars in air-tight containers separating the bars with parchment wax paper covered in air-tight containers. You can keep these frozen for 2 months.
