It’s that time of year when zucchini gets put into everything. Simply in Season does not disappoint in that department. Speaking of which, I think I’ll still be able to make my end of August deadline. There will be a few marathon cooking sessions the next few weekends, but here’s hopin’!
FOR PRINTABLE VERSION CLICK HERE: Zucchini Brownies
1 cup flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2-3 cups zucchini (shredded)
1 egg
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1. Combine flours, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in zucchini.
2. In a separate bowl, combine egg, sugars, yogurt, oil, and vanilla with a fork. Stir in to zucchini mixture.
3. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top and bake in a 9×13 pan in a preheated 350F oven until a toothpick comes out clean (35-40 minutes).
Servings: 20
The Verdict: These are super rich, extremely chocolatey. The zucchini just melts right into the rest of the brownie.

hey, I just did that recipe, lol and just posted it today even! Congrats, isn’t this the best recipe yet?
That looks so delicious! I love brownies, and brownies made with zucchini- sounds so good!
I love sneaking zucchini into things. I’ve made a few recipes recently in my blog with zucchini too! They do not disappoint. Two questions–when you say plain yogurt, do you mean plain greek yogurt? If not, is plain greek yogurt acceptable? Also, can I use all-purpose flour instead of whole wheat? Thanksk.
I actually substituted kefir – so anything related to yogurt would work, including greek yogurt. And yes all purpose would work instead of whole wheat. Will definitely check out the zucchini recipes on your blog! ‘Tis the season.
I need all the zucchini recipes I can get at the moment (my garden is exploding!) so thank you for sharing this yummy one! I like that it has whole wheat flour in it too.
What a great healthy twist on brownies!
So, believe it or not, I made these brownies yesterday…slightly adapted variation!!! We really liked them…delicious! Thanks so much for sharing with Two for Tuesdays this week =)
Too funny! Isn’t it great how the zucchini kind of disappears into the chocolate?
Simply in Season! One of the best cookbooks ever. I havne’t checked it out since the end of spring, so I guess it’s time to revisit it for summer crops. Thanks for sharing the tempting pic and recipe at the blog hop at Two for Tuesday.
I so love zucchini and I’ve made zucchini bread and muffins but I haven’t done brownies yet!! I so want to! Great blog, I’ll be back to read more! Thanks!
This is the second time that I’ve seen this recipe today and I love it! I’d really love to try these brownies, they look wonderful!
Love this recipe. We love zucchini, in fact, I have to work to get some into recipes. We love to eat it sauteed and roasted. I have to make these brownies.
You know, besides the standard zucchini bread, stuffing them, sauteeing them or making fritters, I have limited recipes that will use up all this summer squash! Thanks for giving me something that I can use to HIDE veggies in for my children! 🙂 thanks also for sharing the real food love on the two for tuesday recipe blog hop! 🙂 alex@amoderatelife
These were good, but you’ve left baking soda out of the list of ingredients. I used 1 teaspoon.
I also used sour cream instead of yogurt and got good results.
Thanks for pointing that out! I have fixed the recipe (both in the post and the printable version), which calls for 1/2 tsp of baking soda.
This sounds great!
Thanks for linking up!

The frosting looks really good. Mind sharing the recipe?
