Double-Chocolate Surprise Brownies
Servings 9
Ingredients
- 1 zucchini 6 oz
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ⅔ cup cocoa I like Dutch-processed here best
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup chocolate chips semi-sweet is my favorite
- candies or nuts for the topping optional
Instructions
- 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.
