Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line 8×8 pan with parchment paper (makes for easier removal) and set aside.
- In a large bowl using electric mixer, combine almond butter, maple syrup, oil and vanilla extract. Add in egg and mix until smooth.
- Add unsweetened cocoa (cacao) powder, salt, and baking soda, mixing on low speed or stirring gently with a spatula until combined. Fold in shredded zucchini and chocolate chips.
- Transfer batter into prepared pan. Bake brownies for 15-20 minutes, until edges are slightly raised and middle appears done. Allow brownies to cool in the pan for 15 minutes at room temperature before transferring to the fridge to chill for 1 hour.
- After the brownies have chilled, make the Almond Butter Ganache: In a small microwave-proof bowl, combine almond butter, chocolate chips, and coconut oil. Microwave in 10-second increments, stirring in between until fully melted.
- Pour the almond butter chocolate ganache over chilled brownies. Transfer pan back to the freezer and allow the ganache to set – about 10 minutes.
- Once the ganache has set, remove brownies from pan and place on cutting board. Use a large sharp knife to cut zucchini brownies into 16 servings, making sure to clean the knife between each cut. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can sub in another nut or seed butter of your choice.
