Vegan Zucchini Brownies
🇺🇸 United States
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, ground into flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sweetener
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips, plus more for topping
- 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 1 tsp instant coffee powder (optional)
- 1 1/4 cups shredded zucchini, tightly packed
- 1/2 cup nut butter of choice
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Steps
- Preheat oven to 360°F (182°C). Line a 6x9 inch (15x23 cm) or slightly larger pan with parchment paper, or grease with vegan butter or oil.
- In a food processor, process all dry ingredients except the chocolate chips.
- Add all wet ingredients and blend until the batter is smooth.
- Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle more chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes: 35 minutes or less for fudgier brownies, 40 minutes or more for cakier brownies. Start checking at 30 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out clean or slightly crumbly when done.
- Let the brownies cool completely before slicing. They firm up as they cool and taste even better the next day.
Notes
Using a kitchen scale is recommended for accuracy. Baking time may vary depending on pan size.
