I just harvested some delicious golden summer zucchini and wanted to play around with some unusual uses. Sure I could toss them on the grill, into a stir or on a salad but I wanted something sweet. So I took a stab at making some brownies with them and here is the recipe! Vegan, gluten free and healthier than your traditional chocolate treat, it’s a great way to get non-veggie eaters to devour them!

Ingredients

1 cup almond butter

1 1/2 cup skinned, seeded and grated golden zucchini

1/3 cup agave

1 egg replacer or flax egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

i/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon cocoa powder

1 teaspoon ground espresso (add 1/2 teaspoon more for stonger flavor)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

Pour into a greased 9×9 baking pan.

Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool, cut into squares and enjoy!
