Ingredients

  • 2 flax eggs 6 tablespoons water+ 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar
  • ¼ cup neutral oil
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • cup cocoa / cacao powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cups peeled finely grated and coarsely chopped zucchini
  • ½ cup mini dairy-free chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 °F and grease an 8x8 baking pan. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, prepare your flax eggs by whisking 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed together with 6 tablespoons of warm water. Set aside to thicken.
  • In a larger bowl, whisk together the coconut sugar, oil and vanilla until combined. Add in the thickened flax eggs and mix again.
  • Then add in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and stir until combined.
  • Lastly add in the shredded zucchini and mini chocolate chips and stir to incorporate everything. I definitely recommend grating your zucchini as thinly as possible and coarsely chopping it so that you don't have any long strands of zucchini in your brownies.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the brownies cool a bit after baking, then slice into squares and serve.

Notes

*After a day, store these brownies in an airtight container in the fridge.
