Directions

Step 1

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

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, mix the sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Stir in the grated zucchini, ensuring it is evenly distributed in the mixture.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips, leaving a small handful for topping if desired.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove and sprinkle the top with mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, and reserved chocolate chips.

Step 9

Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and the edges of the brownies pull away from the pan slightly.

Step 10

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares. Serve and enjoy!
