Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cups finely shredded zucchini DO NOT DRAIN
  • 1.25 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a 9x13 inch pan with butter or baking spray and line with parchment paper, allowing it to go up the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, combine vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  3. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined; batter will be thick.
  4. Fold in shredded zucchini by hand. Let batter rest for 5 minutes to hydrate the zucchini.
  5. Stir in chocolate chunks until evenly distributed. Rest for an additional 5 minutes if batter appears dry.
  6. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out with crumbs, not wet batter.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
