Chocolate Chip Zucchini Brownies

Everyone is always looking for zucchini recipes during the summer months when zucchini is out of control, myself included.  Our good friends gave us a zucchini the size of a baseball bat from their garden. I am trying to come up with creative ways to use our humongous zucchini. I love making my favorite zucchini breads, chocolate and lemon, but I wanted to try something new. Last night, we needed a dessert to take to a party, so I made chocolate chip zucchini brownies. Yes, dessert is always needed, especially when zucchini brownies are involved. They are SO good and one of my favorite summer desserts.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup canola oil or vegetable oil
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 2 cups shredded zucchini (don’t squeeze out the moisture)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 9×13 baking pan with cooking spray, set aside.
2. In a stand mixer, combine sugar, oil, and flour, combine until mixture resembles wet sand. It will be dry looking and that is ok. While mixing, on low, add cocoa, shredded zucchini, vanilla extract, salt and baking soda. Mix until well combined. The mixture will moisten once the zucchini is added. Stir in one cup of the chocolate chips.
