Zucchini brownies are a great way to sneak in some veggies into a delicious dessert! Here’s a basic recipe you can try:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup shredded zucchini (excess moisture squeezed out)
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips (if using), making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few crumbs attached.
8. Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
