Fast Baked Zucchini Brownies for 16

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Grate the zucchini finely, place the shreds in a clean kitchen towel, and squeeze firmly over the sink to remove excess water until damp but not dripping.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla until the mixture is glossy, then stir in the squeezed zucchini.
4. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt directly into the wet ingredients.
5. Fold gently with a spatula until no streaks of flour remain, then fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 20–22 minutes, until the edges are set and pulling away from the sides but the center still has a slight jiggle.
7. Allow the brownies to cool for 10 minutes before slicing into 16 squares.
