Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all -purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sal t
  • 2 cups zucchini , finely shredded and unpeeled
  • 1/2 cup semi -sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • In a separate medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the oil and sugar mixture; the resulting dough will be dry and crumbly.
  • Fold in the shredded zucchini by hand and allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes until the zucchini releases enough moisture to form a thick batter.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
