Notes
[‘Use freshly grated zucchini for the best moisture content—don’t squeeze out the liquid.’, ‘To make the brownies even fudgier, reduce the baking time by 2-3 minutes.’, ‘If your batter seems too dry, add a splash of milk or water to loosen it up.’, ‘For a richer flavor, use Dutch-process cocoa powder instead of natural cocoa.’, ‘Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to avoid crumbling.’]
