Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • 1+½ Cup Shredded Zucchini Make sure you squeeze out the excess moisture.

  • 2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil, Melted
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

  • Pour the chocolate zucchini bar batter into a greased 8x8 baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove them from the oven and let the bars cool on a metal rack for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

Expert Tips

  • Use a box grater to shred the zucchini. If you don't have one, you can try adding small chunks of zucchini into a food processor. Pulse until you reach your desired consistency.
  • After shredding the zucchini, make sure you use a dish towel or cheese cloth to squeeze out the excess water.
  • Do not cut into the bars immediately after baking or they will fall apart. Allow them to cool for at least 30-60 minutes.
  • When measuring the flour and grated zucchini, do not pack them into the measuring cup. This will alter the final result.
  • Usually, I use parchment paper to prevent sticking, but these brownies are very moist, so I suggest greasing the baking dish with a non-stick avocado oil spray or spread coconut oil with a paper towel.
