Zucchini Brownies
Ingredients
Zucchini
- 2 Cups Shredded Zucchini
Wet
- 1 Whole Egg
- 1/2 Cup Coconut Oil, Melted
- 1/2 Cup Maple Syrup
- 1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
Dry
- 1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
Flour
- 1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375° and line 8 x 8 baking dish with unbleached parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add wet ingredients and whisk to combine.
- Add cacao powder, baking soda and salt; whisk until well mixed.
- Give zucchini a gentle squeeze but do not ring out completely, add to a bowl and stir.
- Add flour and mix gently until combined.
- Transfer batter into prepared baking dish and level with spatula. Bake for 25-28 minutes or until the centre is barely jiggly. Do not over bake as brownies will have more of a cake consistency. A toothpick inserted has to come out somewhat not clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for about an hour. Lift by the parchment paper flaps and transfer to a cooling rack to cool off completely.
Notes
Honey or other liquid sweeteners can be substituted for the maple syrup.
