Hazelnut Zucchini Brownies

I've been hearing about the concept of zucchini brownies for years now but always thought of them as repulsive until I gave it a try. These brownies are incredibly rich, moist and do not disappoint your taste buds. They're a great way to get some fiber in while cutting some fat from your usual brownie recipe. 





    Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup grated zucchini
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder 
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar 
  • 1 cup almond flour 
  • 1/4 cup milk 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 
  • 1 egg 
  • 1/2 cup melted chocolate chips 
  • 1 tsp baking soda 
  • pinch of salt 
  • 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts 

    Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  2. In a large bowl, sift and combine your almond flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda and salt. Whisk to even out ingredients. 
  3. Combine your grated zucchini with the flour mixture. Coat well. 
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk your egg and add milk, vanilla extract and melted chocolate chips. Stir until combined. 
  5. Pour your liquid mixture into your flour and zucchini dry mixture. Then add your chopped hazelnuts. Reserve some for garnish. Stir and fold until the batter is even. 
  6. Line a brownie tin or muffin tin with parchment paper or cupcake paper. Evenly distribute the batter.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes and refrigerate before serving.  
  8. Garnish with hazelnuts and enjoy!
