Print Recipe

These fudgy triple chocolate zucchini brownies combine melted chocolate, cocoa powder, and chocolate chunks with grated zucchini for moist, rich brownies topped with a sprinkle of sea salt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, unpeeled)
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50g) unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ounces (85g) dark chocolate, melted
  • ½ cup (90g) chocolate chunks or chips
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Gently squeeze out excess moisture if zucchini is very watery.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  4. Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and slightly fluffy. Slowly add the melted chocolate-butter mixture and stir to combine.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and fold gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chunks evenly.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle flaky sea salt evenly over the surface.
  9. Bake for 28-32 minutes. Check at 28 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

Drain zucchini well if very watery to prevent soggy brownies. Do not overmix batter to keep brownies tender and fudgy. Use flaky sea salt on top for a perfect salty-sweet finish. Cool completely before slicing for best texture. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond flour or gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, replace butter with coconut oil and use vegan chocolate chips.
