Gluten-Free Zucchini Brownies

Gluten-Free Zucchini Brownies
Baking gluten-free was once something I only did for my sisters and nieces, however, after seeing an herbalist to help get healthier I was placed on a no peanut, wheat, rye, barley oat and corn diet. 
I am actually finding the no corn part to be the hardest as it is in everything, however, this recipe for gluten-free zucchini brownies is delicious and fits the bill.

 

 

 

Ingredients for the Zucchini Brownies:


  • ½  cup cacao powder
  • 1 ½  teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan salt
  • ½  cup coconut oil/olive oil; your choice
  • 1 ½  cups coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons real vanilla
  • 2 cups garden fresh zucchini; shredded 
  • 2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour; I prefer Bob Red Mills all-purpose gluten-free flour
  • 3-5 tablespoons water; only if needed
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts; optional

     

    Ingredients for the chocolate frosting:

  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ¼  cup butter or coconut oil; melted
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼  cup almond or cashew milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions to make the Zucchini Brownie:


  1. Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit. Using a 9-inch x13-inch glass baking pan and spray it with cooking spray.
  2. In your mixing bowl, (I do not believe in using more than one bowl); therefore, add the ingredients in the order listed adding the water last to make a thicker batter. The water you use is determined by the moisture in your zucchini.  Do not add too much water or it will be more like cake than a brownie. ***I made the Gluten-Free Zucchini Brownies without any added water.
  3. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake 25-30 minutes until the brownies spring back when gently touched or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. While the brownie is baking, whip up the frosting. Spread the frosting on the brownies after they have cooled a little. I prefer to frost the brownies while slightly warm; however, you can do as you like and wait until they are completely cooled.
  5. Cut into squares and watch the Gluten-Free zucchini brownies disappear.
