Equipment

8x8 baking pan

Ingredients

Wet

⅔ cup white sugar
⅔ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
½ cup unsalted butter melted, then cooled slightly
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry

1 ½ cups almond flour sifted if lumpy
⅔ cup cocoa powder sifted if lumpy
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup chocolate chips
¾ cup grated zucchini

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the white sugar, brown sugar, eggs and egg yolk for about 2 minutes.
Add in the melted and cooled butter and vanilla extract. Beat to combine. Add in the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Beat to combine.
Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
Transfer to your prepared pan and spread evenly. Top with extra chocolate chips if desired.
Bake for 38-42 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Let cool completely before slicing. This is SO important so the brownies don't crumble!
I drizzled mine with melted chocolate chips and added flaky salt. Enjoy!

Notes

Be sure to use fine almond flour from blanched almonds, not almond meal here!
