Servings 9 brownies
Calories 94kcal
- 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
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.
