Categories     Fruits and Vegetables     Vegetables     Squash

Time 1h55m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

cooking spray
1 ½ cups granulated coconut sugar
1 ¼ cups gluten-free oat flour
½ cup Dutch-process cocoa
½ cup cacao powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ (10 ounce) bags vegan dark chocolate chips
3 small organic zucchini, diced
¾ cup grapeseed oil
⅓ cup ground flaxseed meal
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Liberally spray the bottom and sides of a 10x15-inch oven-proof glass dish or two 9x5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
  • Combine coconut sugar, oat flour, cocoa, cacao powder, and baking powder in a large bowl. Mix well until no lumps remain, using a sifter if necessary. Set aside.
  • Place chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine zucchini, grapeseed oil, flaxseed, and vanilla extract in a blender; blend on high until completely smooth and slightly warm, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Pour zucchini mixture into the melted chocolate; continue heating and stirring with a rubber spatula, scraping down the sides, until mixture is well combined. Remove top bowl from the heat.
  • Fold the coconut sugar mixture into the zucchini-chocolate mixture, until mixture is combined but still slightly lumpy; do not overmix. Batter will be very thick with a smooth texture. Let sit for 5 minutes, then gently stir. Pour batter into the prepared pan, spreading so it is as flat and even as possible.
  • Place brownies in the preheated oven until they look dry and shiny on top and start to pull away from the edges of the pan, and until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 1 hour.

Time 40m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup applesauce
1 cup raw sugar
2 teaspoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded zucchini
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup semisweet vegan chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 and spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the applesauce, sugar, syrup and vanilla.
  • Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt - stir into wet ingredients (it will look pretty dry at this point - don't worry, it moistens up with the zucchini. However, if necessary, add a little more applesauce).
  • Stir in zucchini - if batter is still too dry, add a couple tbs of applesauce.
  • Add any optional ingredients (walnuts, chocolate chips).
  • Spread into baking pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until brownies spring back when gently touched.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cocoa powder. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your brownies.
  • Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for the baking powder and baking soda, as too much or too little can affect the texture of your brownies.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your brownies tough.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will make your brownies dry.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These zucchini brownies are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite dessert. They are also a great way to use up any extra zucchini you may have on hand. With their moist texture, rich chocolate flavor, and hint of zucchini, these brownies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a vegan and gluten-free dessert, give these zucchini brownies a try. You won't be disappointed!
