ZUCCHINI BROWNIES



Zucchini Brownies image

The texture of these rich bittersweet brownies is more cakey than fudgy and absolutely full of moisture, thanks to the addition of shredded zucchini. We combine the squash with sugar and a little salt and allow it to stand for a few minutes before stirring in the rest of the ingredients; this draws out some of the liquid and helps to hydrate the batter.

Time 40m

Yield 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1.5 cup(s) Uncooked zucchini shredded
0.5 cup(s) Sugar
0.5 tsp(s) Table salt
1 cup(s) All-purpose flour
0.5 cup(s) Unsweetened cocoa powder
0.25 tsp(s) Baking soda
2 tbsp(s) Canola oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 11 x 7-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together zucchini, sugar, and salt; let stand 5 minutes (there should be liquid pooling at the bottom of the bowl).
  • Meanwhile, in another medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Stir oil, vanilla, and egg into zucchini mixture. Stir in flour mixture (batter will be thick). Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake at 350°F until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 22 to 25 minutes.
  • Using parchment paper, lift brownies out of pan; cool on a wire rack. Cut into 15 pieces.
  • Serving size: 1 brownie

Tips:

  • Use a food processor or blender to finely grate the zucchini. This will help the zucchini blend seamlessly into the brownie batter and prevent it from becoming too watery.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense brownies. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Don't overbake the brownies. Overbaking can also result in dry, crumbly brownies. Bake the brownies just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from becoming runny.

Conclusion:

These zucchini brownies are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy a classic dessert. They're moist, chocolatey, and have a slight zucchini flavor that adds a unique twist. They're also Weight Watchers friendly, so you can enjoy them without guilt. These are the perfect dessert for a party, potluck, or special occasion, or just because it's time for dessert.
