low carb zucchini brownies

I made you guys something healthy. FINALLY. Zucchini Brownies. Sounds weird, right? Yeah. I hear you. But. Let me just say…these are so incredibly moist and fudgy AND flour-less and healthy! All in one bowl! Hello low carb lovers!

The bonus? Kids are eating vegetables without any clue whatsoever (*Insert evil laugh*) My kids are not exactly fans of Zucchini. They pick it out of their food as if I’m trying to kill them…even when I try and sneak it in. But low an behold they could not taste it in these.

I won’t lie. The whole tray was gone in less that 6.2 minutes while watching trash TV in our pyjamas. And so easy to make my 6 year old could have done it with his eyes closed.

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
• Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 176°C | 350°F. Line a 8x8" baking pan with baking?parchment paper, or lightly grease with oil spray. Set aside.
2. 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.
