Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 medium zucchini (grated, excess moisture squeezed out)
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract together. Stir in the grated zucchini.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
Allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares and enjoy!
