Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons olive or melted coconut oil
  • ¼ cup applesauce
  • ½ cup milk of your choice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • stevia to taste; I use about 20 drops
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 loose cup finely grated zucchini
  • chocolate chips or chopped chocolate as desired, for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, mix the oil, applesauce, milk, vanilla, and coconut sugar. I add in about 15-20 drops of liquid stevia as well here.
  • In a smaller bowl, mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, cocoa, salt).
  • Add the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients, along with the zucchini. Mix until well combined.
  • Pour the batter into a well-oiled 8 x 8 inch baking dish.
  • Top with chocolate, if desired.
  • Bake 10-14 minutes, just until the top feels 'springy' to the touch. DON'T overbake! These, in fact, are better a tad UNDERbaked.
  • Cool about ten minutes prior to cutting for best results.
