Zucchini Brownies
Description
This recipe uses a combination of oat and almond flours paired with unsweetened cocoa powder, sea salt, and baking soda as the dry base. Wet ingredients include eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract mixed with finely grated zucchini, which introduces moisture and a slight vegetal sweetness to the brownies. Chocolate chips folded into the batter add bursts of melting chocolate throughout. The mixture is baked in an 8x8-inch pan around 30-40 minutes until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean. Cooling the brownies completely improves texture and flavor before slicing. The final product presents a dense yet tender bite with a rich chocolate taste balanced by the subtle zucchini moisture.
For vegan adaptation, the eggs can be replaced with flax eggs without compromising the structure.
