Ingredients
- 1 cup finely shredded zucchini
- 6 tablespoons butter , melted
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil , measured in melted state
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup natural granulated sweetener (or granulated sugar of choice — coconut; white sugar)
- 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
Directions
- Preheat oven to 176°C | 350°F. Line a 8×8″ 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.
Note
- I use a sweetener that measures 1:1 with normal sugar. If using a stronger sweetener, measure the amount needed for 1/3 cup normal sugar.
- Do NOT substitute the peanut flour with almond flour! The texture will be altered, dried out and wrong! Please, FOLLOW THE RECIPE.
