Healthy Zucchini Brownies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup olive oil (you could use coconut oil but it would change the calories)
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Self Rasing wholemeal flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 2 cups finely shredded zucchini – don’t squeeze out the liquid (2 zucchinis are perfect)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 175°C
  • Spray a slice tray with oil then line the bottom with baking paper
  • Mix together the oil, coconut sugar and vanilla until combined and smooth
  • Add in flour and cocoa until well combined- the mix will be dry but don’t panic!
  • Fold in zucchini for a few seconds – but DO NOT over beat it
  • Spread into slice tray and bake for 15-20 mins until a skewer inserted comes out with some moist bits on it
  • The top should look cooked
  • Let cool completely in the tin before icing with your choice of icing- i used the icing from the Christmas & New Years Cookbook
