DOUBLE CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BROWNIES



Double Chocolate Zucchini Brownies image

I found a recipe for zucchini brownies that claimed to be healthy, but it had 1/2 c. oil in it. I thought that was a bit too much, so I made up my own version--still rich, moist, and very chocolatey, but not so high in fat! I like to use whole wheat flour in cookies and brownies because I think it makes them moister, but if you prefer, you can substitute all or partly white flour. You can add nuts to this as well, if you like. A sprinkling of powdered sugar on top is a pretty finish. This is a great way to use up some of that abundance of zucchini--and to get your kids to eat some vegies! :)

Time 45m

Yield 24 brownies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup non-fat vanilla yogurt
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups finely grated zucchini
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Beat sugar, oil, yogurt, egg, and vanilla together until smooth.
  • Add flour through cinnamon and stir until a thick batter forms.
  • Fold in the zucchini and chocolate chips. As the moisture from the zucchini soaks into the batter, the batter will soften a bit.
  • Spray a 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan with cooking spray and pour the batter into the pan.
  • Bake at 350°F for 25 - 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  • Cut into squares and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Select the Right Zucchini: Choose small to medium-sized zucchinis, as they tend to have a milder flavor and fewer seeds. Larger zucchinis can be used, but you may need to adjust the recipe's ingredient proportions.
  • Grate the Zucchini Finely: Finely grating the zucchini ensures it distributes evenly throughout the brownie batter and prevents large chunks from overpowering the texture.
  • Use High-Quality Chocolate: Opt for high-quality dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate for a rich and decadent flavor. You can also use a combination of both for a balanced taste.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough and dense brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined to maintain a fudgy texture.
  • Don't Overbake the Brownies: Keep a close eye on the brownies during baking. Overbaking can lead to dry and crumbly brownies. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.

Conclusion:

These double chocolate zucchini brownies offer a delightful combination of flavors and textures. By incorporating zucchini, they provide a moist and fudgy texture with a hint of veggie goodness. The rich chocolate flavor is perfectly complemented by the subtle sweetness of the zucchini, making them a guilt-free indulgence. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a novice, this recipe is easy to follow and yields delicious results. So, preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and embark on a culinary journey to create these delectable treats that will satisfy your sweet cravings and leave you wanting more.
