Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 zucchini (6 oz)
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup cocoa (I like Dutch-processed here best)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet is my favorite)
  • candies or nuts for the topping (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F
  • Put the zucchini in a food processor and blend well. It should be like a very thick juice at this point. You don't want any large pieces.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the zucchini, butter, eggs, vanilla, and sugars until just blended.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the cocoa, baking powder, salt, and flour. Stir the dry ingredients in with the wet ingredients until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into an 8-inch square baking pan lined with parchment paper. Top with nuts or candies if using. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
