Chocolate Chip Zucchini Brownies
Ingredients
1 cup of shredded zucchini
1 cup of granulated sugar
1/3 cup of unsalted, melted butter
1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup of semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 salt
1/4 baking powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine eggs, sugar and vanilla and mix on low until well combined.
Slowly begin adding flour, salt, cocoa powder, and baking powder, that you have sifted together.
Mix until combined, and then add the melted butter, and the shredded zucchini, (Use the fine side of your grater. Coarser pieces will have a more noticeable flavor and also texture) and mix this a bit more.
Add in chocolate chips, and mix until brownie batter is combined.
In a 8x8 baking pan, that is covered with parchment paper - make sure to
drape the paper over the sides, and pour in the brownie batter, and spread evenly.
Bake for 22–23 minutes.
Remove from oven, and let cool on a baking rack. Cut and serve.
IF YOU WANT TO FREEZE - When the brownies are completely cooled you can wrap them in plastic wrap and then place into an airtight container, or in a freezer storage bag. You can also wrap them with aluminum foil.
When you are ready for the brownies again, remove them from the freezer and place them in the refrigerator overnight. You could also put them on the counter. Once they are at room temperature, they are ready to serve.
