Description
Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free
These brownies are fudgy, light, chocolatey, gooey and healthy all wrapped into one. The zucchini keeps them moist while also making them more nutritious than any brownie you can find at a store. Enjoy them as an afternoon snack, dessert, or even for breakfast!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup gluten free rolled oats (I buy these ones)
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder (or try cocao powder!)
- 2 cups shredded zucchini
- 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp himilayan salt
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp cashew milk
- 1 tbsp Stevia
- Dairy free chocolate chips or cacao nibs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Make your oats into flour (see instructions here!).
- Shred your zucchinis (to get 2 cups it took me 1 pretty large zuke), set aside.
- Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl (oat flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, Stevia) into a large mixing bowl and combine.
- In another mixing bowl, combine wet ingredients (eggs, apple sauce, cashew milk) and mix.
- Add in your shredded zucchini and wet ingredients to your dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into an 8×8 baking pan lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (these are super gooey and moist brownies so it may never come out completely clean and you don’t want to overcook them!)
- Optional (but encouraged): Make my 5 ingredient healthy chocolate frosting and smother it on top of them for a super chocolatey experience!
