Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small zucchini (150g)
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder (25g)
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (30ml)
  • 1/2 cup date sugar (100g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 1/3 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (60g)

Instructions

  1. Set your oven to 350°F and prepare an 8×4 inch loaf tin by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Chop the zucchini into medium-sized pieces. Place the zucchini pieces, cacao powder, rolled oats, olive oil, date sugar, and vanilla extract into a small food processor and blend until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Stir in the dairy-free chocolate chips.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and spread it evenly. For decoration, scatter additional chocolate chips on top if desired.
  5. Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean. Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
  6. Let the brownies cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into slices.

Notes

  • Consider incorporating chopped nuts or seeds into the batter for added texture.
  • Ensure to properly squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini before blending to prevent a soggy batter.
  • Opt for high-quality cacao powder to enhance the rich and intense chocolate flavor of the brownies.
