Ingredients
Scale

- In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the egg and vegetable oil, mixing until combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Notes
- Squeeze excess moisture from the shredded zucchini using paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth for a better texture.
- If you prefer a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
