The best zucchini brownies ever. Vegan. GF.

July 16, 2018 by Knead to Cook Filed Under: Brownies, Brunch, Desserts, Gluten Free, Holiday Baking Ideas, Nuts, Snacks, Vegan, Vegan proteins, Wheat Free 4 Comments

These brownies came out so unbelievably awesome… and I’m not even a brownie fan.  The best & only recipe you’ll ever need.  Seriously.

My dad harvested a behemoth zucchini from our garden yesterday and I wanted to do something different with it instead of bread or grilling it.  The key with baking anything with zucchini is removing every last bit of water from it. Be patient and these delectable brownies will reward you, pinky promise!  I’m not wasting anymore time chatting… we need to get to this, now!  Happy Monday friends ~ ox.

This zucchini weighed just over 4 lbs!  I think I’ll be using this baby all week long in various dishes.

I love my good old fashioned box grater for grating.

Once I cut a chunk off to grate, I looked over and saw the water literally teeming out of it.  Crazy!

Heaping cup of zucchini!

The zucchini is visually impossible to see in the cooked brownie (perfect for tricking kids) but you can see it in the batter.

Thick and gooey!

I added chocolate chips to the batter and to the top. The more the merrier!

It’s hard to wait but you need to.  I waited a good hour before cutting.

The zucchini makes it so moist and delectable.

I cannot wait to hear what you think after you make these!  Enjoy!
