Zucchini Brownies (Vegan) image

Another way to use the produce of my over-productive zucchini plant in the garden! Sneaking vegetables and fruit into a brownie is also a plus!

Time 40m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup applesauce
1 cup raw sugar
2 teaspoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded zucchini
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup semisweet vegan chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 and spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the applesauce, sugar, syrup and vanilla.
  • Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt - stir into wet ingredients (it will look pretty dry at this point - don't worry, it moistens up with the zucchini. However, if necessary, add a little more applesauce).
  • Stir in zucchini - if batter is still too dry, add a couple tbs of applesauce.
  • Add any optional ingredients (walnuts, chocolate chips).
  • Spread into baking pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until brownies spring back when gently touched.
