Zucchini Brownies
A friend of mine recommended me to try these Zucchini Brownies. I thought, “Hmm, that sounds weird, but I do love zucchini.” Then I looked at the recipe and was shocked to see that there is no flour! What the heck??? However there is 1 cup of dark chocolate, so I was IN! It was one of those nights where I was craving something, but I didn’t know what, so I made several things to try to satiate my odd craving.
In walks Zucchini Brownies…craving satisfied.
Here’s the recipe; this is from Fast Paleo’s website.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup grated zucchini
- 1 cup Almond Butter
- 1/3 cup raw honey
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking soda
- i tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp allspice (I didn’t add this)
- 1 cup Enjoy Life Semi Sweet Chocolate Mega Chuncks
Cooking Steps
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Pour into a greased 9×9 baking pan (I used an 8×8 pan)
4. Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
This recipe is gold! We loved it. It’s pretty rich, so it’s a great treat and it’s loaded with protein too. Next time I won’t use 1/3 cup honey because the chocolate chips and peanut butter sweeten it pretty well. This is definitely a keeper! My 3 year old asked for seconds and I didn’t have to say no to her because they are so healthy!
I make these all the time and they are always a hit, even to the non paleo crowd
They are so good! No one would know that they are healthy!
My little one is allergic to zucchini. Would other kind of squash work here? Maybe spaghetti squash?
I think spaghetti squash would be too slimmy. Maybe try carrots or yellow squash?
these are so good!!!! thank you so much for sharing
