Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined.

Step 7

Fold in the grated zucchini, white chocolate chips, and chopped walnuts (if using). Be careful not to overmix.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your blond zucchini brownies as a deliciously moist and sweet treat!
