How to Make Double Chocolate Zucchini Brownies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or all-purpose), 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 2 cups grated zucchini and 1 cup chocolate chips.
  6. The batter will thicken as the zucchini releases moisture; this is normal.
  7. Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
