Description

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
• ½ cup natural granulated sweetener (or granulated sugar of choice -- coconut; white sugar) *See Notes
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• ¾ cup peanut flour
• ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (or ¼ cup if you dont like them too rich)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 4 squares Lindt 90% chocolate (or chocolate of choice), cut into pieces/chunks

Directions

• 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 shouldnt 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 theyre best eaten within 2 days. If refrigerating, they last 3-4 days.
