Flourless Peanut Butter Zucchini Brownies

🇺🇸 United States

Servings: 9-12 brownies Prep: 10 minutes Cook: 30 minutes Total: 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup natural salted peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup (use 1/2 cup for sweeter brownies)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini, water not squeezed out
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed or 1 large egg
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt (optional)
  • 1/3-1/2 cup chocolate chips, plus more for topping

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan or 8x8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients except chocolate chips until well combined; batter will be thick. If peanut butter is unsalted, add an extra 1/4 tsp salt.
  3. Fold in chocolate chips.
  4. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Sprinkle top with extra chocolate chips and a pinch of flaky salt.
  5. Bake 25-30 minutes, until set and a knife inserted comes out almost clean.
  6. Let cool completely before slicing. Slice into 9 bars (square pan) or 10 bars (loaf pan).

Notes

Best enjoyed after chilling overnight in the fridge.
