I really do love all things zucchini.  We eat it all the time in different dinners.  Everyone in our family loved these Bacon Cheeseburger Stuffed Zucchini, even our youngest who is quite picky.  

Although, I think he mostly ate the filling…so, we might need to make more until I can convince him that he really does love zucchini.

Even though, we use zucchini 90% of the time in healthy dinner recipe, my absolute favorite way to enjoy zucchini is covered in chocolate.

Last week I shared these Frosted Zucchini Brownies with you and told you I was testing a fudgy zucchini brownie recipe too.  

Well, today is the day I am sharing it with you. Trust me, you won’t even know there is a veggie in these rich and gooey brownies. They are that good!

Zucchini is quite the magical ingredient when it comes to baked goods. The moisture from the veggie makes these homemade chocolate brownies so rich, gooey, and delicious.  

This Dark Chocolate Zucchini Cake is another one that always amazes me because of how the zucchini bakes!

When the warm pan of brownies comes out of the oven, you will be shocked at how amazing they look. I know I was blown away at how good they were.  

Of course, the sprinkle of coarse sea salt on top is an absolute must.  It just adds a little something extra to the dark chocolate goodness.

Tips for making Zucchini Brownies:

• Shred your zucchini on the smallest side of your grater.  You want the zucchini to be tiny and blend into the brownies, so that it is hidden.
• Do not squeeze out the moisture from the shredded zucchini.  You need it to be moist in order for the brownies to bake up nice and fudgy.  If your zucchini is extremely wet, you can squeeze a little out with a paper towel.
• You can use soft coconut oil or melted butter in this recipe.  Either one works and tastes great.
• Use dark cocoa powder to give the brownies the darkest and richest color and taste.  Regular cocoa powder works too, just know your brownies will be a little lighter.
• A little bit of cinnamon adds that extra little bit of spice and flavor.  Feel free to use all-spice if you want to add a little bit more to it.
• Sprinkle the top of the brownie batter with dark chocolate chips before baking.  Some of them will sink into the brownies and some will stay on top.  The hidden ones are a fun surprise to bite into.
• If you like sweet and salty desserts, add coarse sea salt to the top of the brownies.  I loved the chocolate zucchini brownies without it, but then I tried the sea salt and totally fell in love.

How to make Fudgy Dark Chocolate Zucchini Brownies:

1. Mix together the coconut oil (or butter) and sugar until it looks like wet sand.  
2. Add the eggs, vanilla, and shredded zucchini and mix again.
3. Slowly add the flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until it looks like brownie batter.
4. Pour into a prepared pan.
5. Sprinkle the top of the brownies with some dark chocolate chips.  Feel free to add more or less depending on your mood or taste.
6. Bake and cool.
7. Cut the zucchini brownies into small squares and add a pinch of sea salt to the top.
