Flourless Zucchini Brownies
Honestly I am amazed at how good these Flourless Zucchini Brownies turned out. I mean, just look at that fudgy texture!
If you are looking for a chocolatey brownie that is rich but not very sweet – you will LOVE these! Also, you can’t tell at all that there is zucchini in them! They are only sweetened with maple syrup and the chocolate chips, but there’s an option to add coconut sugar or cane sugar for extra sweetness if you prefer.
These flourless zucchini brownies are gluten and grain-free (flourless), dairy-free, and made with overall simple, healthy ingredients like zucchini, almond butter, and cacao powder.
What You’ll Need:
To make these Flourless Zucchini Brownies, you’ll just need 6 main ingredients, mixing bowls, a blender, and a few minutes of prep!
Ingredients:
- almond butter (any nut butter of your choice should work)
- zucchini
- eggs (could work with flax eggs)
- cacao powder
- maple syrup
- vanilla extract
- baking soda
- chocolate chips
- optional: additional sweetener (coconut sugar or cane sugar)
- optional topping: sprinkles
* NOTE: I have not personally tried any of these substitutes listed above for this recipe, however I believe they should work.
How To Make:
My secret to this recipe is blending the zucchini! This makes it so you can’t see the zucchini and it has such a smooth, rich texture. First, you grate the zucchini and blend it together with the almond butter until smooth. Then, all the other steps are super simple – whisk together eggs and other wet ingredients, then add in the dry ingredients and chocolate chips!
