Method: Baking

Course: Brownies

Servings: 24 Brownies

Ingredients

Part 1:

1 cup unsalted butter softened
2 cups granulated sugar
½ cup tofu pureed silken or soft
½ cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Part 2:

1 and ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt

Part 3:

2 cups zucchini grated
1 cup walnuts chopped
½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F/180C for 15 minutes. Line a 13x9 inch pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add the tofu, yogurt, and vanilla extract; beat well.
To the creamed mixture sift in the dry ingredients listed in Part 2. Mix well with a spatula.
Now stir in the zucchini and all other add ons that you want to include and mix well.
Pour the brownie batter onto the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes clean. If you want moist, chewy brownies you can take them out of the oven between 30-35 minutes. If you want cake-like brownies you can bake them a little longer.
Lift the brownie from the pan using the aluminum foil and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

I did not drain the zucchini off the water. Just added it directly after grating it. I felt the batter was quite thick and that was the reason I didn't do the extra step of draining the water from the zucchini. But after it was done baking and looking at the texture I guess maybe some people might prefer it having less sticky so squeezing the water from the zucchini could be a good idea. I will probably try it the next time to see if I notice any big difference in the texture.

Taste & Texture

These chocolate zucchini brownies are quite moist and we love that. The sweetness was perfect and of course, the walnuts gave a very good texture to the brownies and so did the chocolate chips.
