tagubilin
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line a 8-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly oil with cooking oil spray. Set aside.
- Trim, and finely grate the zucchini using a hand grater or the thinner grating attachment of a food processor. Do not squeeze out the juice of the shredded zucchini, pack in cups to measure what you need for the recipe. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined.
- Bring the shredded zucchini above the bowl, squeeze them so they release their juice into the flour mixture, then drop the shredded zucchini into the bowl. This step makes it easier to stir the brownie batter later. Add now the olive oil, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips.
- Use a rubber spatula to stir and press the zucchini into the dry ingredients, as you press they release more juice, wet the dry ingredient, and a thick brownie batter forms. It looks very dry and crumbly at first, keep stirring and pressing, you need the zucchini to wet the dry ingredients and form the batter for the best brownie texture. I like to squeeze the batter by hands (I know it's messy), but if it looks too crumbly it will release the juice from the shredded zucchini, forming the batter nicely.
- If the batter is still too dry and does not come together, add 1-2 tablespoons of water until the batter forms. I never need to add water because my zucchini are very juicy. The batter should be shiny, thick, and dense, not ultra runny and wet.
- Ibuhos ang batter sa inihandang kawali.
- Bake the brownies for 25-28 minutes in the center rack at 350 °F (180 °C) until the top cracks and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the brownies cool down for 10 minutes in the pan, then on a cooling rack before slicing.
- If you like, sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top of the warm brownies they melt as they cool down.

You only need a handful of wholesome ingredients to make these brownies. Here’s how to pick them.

- Ginutay-gutay na Zucchini – It brings moisture, natural sweetness, and fiber to the brownies while contributing a light, cake-like texture. The undrained juice is essential to make the batter moist, so avoid squeezing it out. If zucchini isn’t available, yellow squash offers a similar consistency, but don’t replace it with dried vegetables.
- Banayad na Langis ng Oliba – This provides healthy fat and moisture without overpowering the zucchini flavor. You can also use a neutral oil like canola or melted plant-based butter. Avoid using strongly flavored oils that might mask the brownie’s subtle taste.
- Vanilla Extract – For more sweet flavors. You can also use almond extract for a different twist.
- Asukal – Sugar is essential for sweetness and to create the classic crackly top on the brownies. You can use coconut or demerara sugar but it will change the texture, so stick with white sugar if you want that perfect finish.
- Flour ng Lahat-Lyong – I designed the recipe specifically for this all-purpose flour. It won’t work well with oat or almond flour. For a gluten-free version, use my gabay sa pagpapalit na walang gluten.
- Unsweetened kakaw pulbos – It brings a rich, deep chocolate flavor that is key to a classic brownie (as long as you use good-quality cocoa). Cacao powder can be used in the same measure, but make sure it’s unsweetened to keep the balance.
- Baking soda – This works with the acidity from the zucchini juice to gently leaven the batter.
- maitim na tsokolate – You can use dark chocolate chips or dark chocolate bars. It adds texture and an extra dose of decadence. Stick with high-quality dark chocolate chips to maintain the dairy-free profile.

Let me share a few more tips for perfect zucchini brownies.
- Gamitin ang Juice: When grating your zucchini, let the juice fall into the bowl. That liquid is key to forming a moist, cohesive batter and will activate the baking soda.
- Press and Stir: Use a rubber spatula—or even your hands—to press the zucchini into the dry mix. This helps release more juice gradually and ensures even hydration.
- Be Patient Before Adding Water: The batter may initially seem crumbly. Allow time for the zucchini juice to do its work before adding a tablespoon or two of water.
- Huwag mag-overmix: Stir gently until the ingredients just come together. Overmixing can lead to a tougher texture.
- Pagsusuri ng Texture: The batter should be thick, shiny, and dense. If it’s still dry after thorough mixing, add a tiny bit of water—but only as needed.
- Extra Chocolate Touch: For an added burst of decadence, sprinkle a few extra dark chocolate chips on top of the warm batter before baking.
- Even Baking: Ensure your baking sheet is properly lined and lightly oiled so the brownies bake evenly and release easily.
- Ganap na cool: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack. This rest time helps firm up the texture for clean slicing.







I have made these 4 days in a row! Amazing, the only thing I changed was 90-100g of sugar instead of 150g. I also used marrow a couple times and kept the seeds in and it was still perfect. Found them still sweet and perfect at this amount. Best brownie recipe I have tried in a long time.
Thanks so very much for the recipe. I have forwarded it to friends. 🙂
Salamat !
super good! thank you !
Ikinagagalak ko!
This is amazing, you could never tell there’s a vegetable in this brownie. It’s fudgy, moist and delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Salamat !
Tastes great. Mine turned out very soft, more like cake. It sounds cliche, but you really don’t taste or feel “vegetables” in this.
True, my kids love this !
i read somewhere that a strong coffee helps intensify the chocolate flavor. could i add a bit of of coffee in place of some oil?
That’s true coffee intensify cocoa flavors, but this works only to swap a liquid ingredient like milk, or water, not oil. The oil has a different purpose in the brownie, it binds ingredients and add moisture. You can however, add 1/2 teaspoon on instant dry coffee to boost the cocoa flavor.
Used gluten free King Arthur, only 3/4 c., and monkfruit in stead of sugar;
Also 2. c. zucchini not
1 1/2. Added walnuts. Absolutely delicious!!
That’s amazing to hear! thanks for sharing with me.
Hi, this sounds amazing. We have a glut of cucumbers. Just sat wondering if this recipe would work with cucumbers (seeds removed) any thoughts please?
I am pretty sure if you deseeds the cucumber, grate, and squeeze to extract their excess water, it should work. I will squeeze the grated cucumber a bit, even if I don’t squeeze the zucchini for this recipe, cucumbers are higher in water, and I think it’s great to squeeze them to avoid a batter that won’t bake properly. Let me know how it goes.
It’s looks amazing yummy I like to make this for my family perhaps for my Saturday prayer group and picnics but us there a gluten free recipe anyone can share?
I havent+’t tried all-purpose gluten-free flour for this one yet, but I have a almond flour zucchini brownie recipe that is 100% gluten-free if you want to it dito.
Hi! I love trialing new things and have enjoyed your recipes! With this one can you use shredded frozen zucchini?
I didn’t know if that would work? But have some that I would love to use!
I haven’t tried frozen zucchinis but they usually release tons of water, which I am worried, will thin out the batter too much. Maybe if you squeeze and remove their juice, it could work.
Hello, can I substitute the oil with something else? I don’t like using oil or plant bases butter.
Can’t wait to try this!
Salamat!
You can, but the texture will be different. The best swap would be same amount of fresh, drippy natural peanut butter or almond butter. You might have great result with unsweetened applesauce too, or mashed bananas
