Ingredients
- 1 cup finely shredded zucchini (- use the smallest blade on a cheese grater. It should look like a puree)
- 6 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (measured in melted state, or sub with any vegetable oil you have)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup natural granulated sweetener (or granulated sugar of choice - coconut; white sugar *See Notes)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup peanut flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (or 1/4 cup if you don't like them too rich)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 squares Lindt 90% chocolate or chocolate of choice (cut into pieces/chunks)
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 176°C | 350°F. Line a 8x8" baking pan with baking?parchment paper, or lightly grease with oil spray. Set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the zucchini, butter, oil, egg, sweetener (or sugar), and vanilla until well combined. Add the peanut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt; folding through slowly until just combined. The batter will be thick but shouldn't be dry. (It depends on how much liquid your zucchini has! If too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water). Fold in half of the chocolate chunks; pour batter into prepared pan; sprinkle remaining chocolate chunks over the top.
-
Bake for 30 minutes or until the brownies spring back when gently touched. (If testing with a toothpick, they will be very moist in the centre BUT they do set and harden when removed from the oven.)
-
Allow to cool completely (about half an hour); cut into squares and chill to semi-set.
-
If storing at room temperature they're best eaten within 2 days. If refrigerating, they last 3-4 days.
