- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.

Notes
- For extra moist brownies, ensure you squeeze as much water as possible from the grated zucchini.
- Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- These brownies freeze well. Wrap individual squares tightly in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
