Zucchini Brownies
Zucchini Brownies incorporate grated zucchini into a blend of oat and almond flours with cocoa powder, eggs, and maple syrup to produce moist, chocolatey squares. The grated zucchini adds moisture and texture without overpowering the rich cocoa flavor. Topped and mixed with chocolate chips, these brownies are baked until set and cooled for the best texture.
