Ingredients:
| Amount | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 | Zucchinis, grated (about 2 cups) |
| 1 1/2 | cups Sugar |
| 1/2 | cup Flour |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 1 1/2 | tsp Vanilla Extract |
| 2 | tsp Baking Soda |
| 1/4 | tsp Salt |
| 1/2 | cup Vegetable Oil |
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Zucchini:
- Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or a food processor. You should have about 2 cups of grated zucchini.
- Using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated zucchini. This will prevent your brownies from becoming too wet.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until well combined and slightly frothy.
3. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Sifting helps to ensure a smoother batter and even distribution of ingredients.
4. Bring it All Together:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough brownies.
5. Fold in the Zucchini:
- Gently fold in the grated zucchini into the batter until evenly distributed. The zucchini will add moisture and a lovely texture to your brownies.
6. Bake the Brownies:
- Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the brownies to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.
8. Enjoy!
- Serve these delicious Zucchini Brownies as a delightful dessert or snack. They are perfect for sharing with friends and family, and no one will even know there are veggies hidden inside! Enjoy the moist texture, rich chocolate flavor, and the satisfaction of indulging in a healthier treat.
These Zucchini Brownies are a fantastic way to use up excess zucchinis from your garden or simply enjoy a unique twist on classic brownies. With their moist, chocolatey goodness and added health benefits, they are sure to become a favorite in your household. 🌿🍫
