    Ultimate Healthy Zucchini Brownies

    Easy Healthy Zucchini Brownies are gooey, decadent, and low in sugar! Made in one bowl and so delicious. Flourless, vegan, grain free and gluten free.

    The best recipes come to me when I'm out of all the ingredients. I decided my Almond Butter Zucchini Bars and Healthy Pumpkin Brownies most definitely needed a chocolate cousin, and here we are. Life is so much better for it!

    You're not going to believe these are made with peanut butter and no flour. I mean it's on the verge of insane how fudgy and delicious these are.

    How to make healthy zucchini brownies

    Hello, one bowl recipes! My pruney fingers love you forever and always.

    1. Grate zucchini, measure out 1 cup, and set aside.
    2. Make batter by whisking together peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, zucchini, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.
    3. Spoon batter into pan and bake for 30 minutes.
    4. Let brownies cool before you slice and devour.

    Key ingredients and substitutions

    • Natural peanut butter: We want the drippy kind with peanuts and salt as the ingredients. (The kind where there's a pool of oil at the top that either nauseates or excites you.) You could also use crunchy peanut butter for extra texture. I haven't tried it but I'd guess these would work with tahini or almond butter!
    • Pure maple syrup: My favorite unrefined liquid sweetener. Honey or agave would also work. You can reduce it to ¼ cup to make them even lower in sugar.
    • Ground flax: This helps bind the brownies. You can replace with an egg if you're not vegan.
    • Shredded zucchini: The one and only for epic zucchini brownies. Don't squeeze the water out!
    • Cocoa powder: I like to use cacao, a more nutrient-dense version of cocoa powder, but any 100% unsweetened baking cocoa is great.
    • Vanilla extract: To enhance the chocolate flavor.
    • Baking soda: For a little rise! These brownies are still way more fudgy versus cakey.
    • Chocolate chips: Semi-sweet chocolate chips for extra chocolate flavor. Costco and Trader Joe's have my favorite affordable chocolate chips.

    How to grate zucchini

    1. First, wash zucchini and trim the ends.
    2. Grate unpeeled zucchini by using the large holes on a box grater. You can also use my preferred time-saving hack: the shredding attachment on the food processor!
    3. Measure out one cup of zucchini as all zucchini vary in size. Note that we are not squeezing the water out, which is amazing. We're relying on their natural moisture for the recipe. Use leftover zucchini in my chocolate peanut butter zucchini smoothie!

    Can you freeze brownies?

    Yes! I actually love these out of the freezer. They freeze well for up to 3 months. You can thaw them overnight in the fridge or defrost in the microwave.

    Storage tips

    Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Microwave for a few seconds before eating for those melty chocolate chips!

    Description

    Easy Healthy Zucchini Brownies are fudgy, decadent, and low in sugar--made in 1 bowl and so delicious! Flourless, vegan, grain free and gluten free.


    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • ¾ cup natural salted peanut butter
    • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup (can sub honey)
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 cup shredded zucchini (don't squeeze out water)
    • ¼ cup cocoa powder
    • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed*
    • ¾ tsp baking soda
    • ¼-½ cup chocolate chips, plus more for sprinkling

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a loaf pan or 8x8inch baking dish with cooking spray. Brownies will be thicker with a loaf pan.
    2. Place all ingredients except chocolate chips in a large bowl. If your nut butter is unsalted, add ¼ tsp fine sea salt. Whisk until well combined. Fold in chocolate chips. The batter is very thick.
    3. Spoon mixture into loaf pan and use a rubber spatula to spread evenly in pan. Sprinkle with a handful of chocolate chips and a pinch of flaky salt. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until brownies are set and a knife comes out almost clean. If your peanut butter wasn't liquidy/drippy, they will take less time.
    4. Allow brownies to completely cool before slicing. Slice into 9 bars for a square pan or 10 bars for a loaf pan.

    Notes

    STORE: Store on the counter for up to a day and then in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.  Microwave for a few seconds before eating for those melty chocolate chips!

    *If you don't have ground flaxseed and you're not vegan, you can substitute one egg.

      It says to refrigerate. If I do that, but then have then sit out for a few hours as people graze on them, will that be a problem? I do t want them to gradually come to room temp and then be a pile of gooey goodness that's also extra messy ?

      Real peanut butter is SOOO much better! Taste and health-wise, Alexis, thank you for publishing this in your recipe!

      The mess of stirring up Natural PB is usually the biggest turn off most people have to using it regularly. I found the solution to this problem: Grandpa Witmer's Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Mixer, a product that should be sold alongside all jars of "drippy" PB!! You replace the jar lid with this lid which has a "S" curved metal rod with a knob/handle on one end that fits through the lid like a butter churn. You crank it for a short time and wa-la! Mixed PB! No drippy oil over the side of your jar. You have to experience this!!

      PS Make sure you buy the right size lid for the brand of PB you usually buy.

      These are crazy good! I can have brownies again, thanks to you. I admit I had my doubts making it. The batter was delicious, but would it really bake up like a brownie? And hold together? Yup and yup! Genius! I was able to cut the maple syrup to 2 T since the semi-sweet chips added some sweetness. Perfection!

      Just made these today. I did double the recipe and baked them in an 8x8 pan. They turned out great. I did have to bake about 20 minutes longer. They were moist and chewy. Not real sweet. If I could post a pic I would. I'm getting ready to freeze them for my vegan company coming this weekend.

      These brownies are DELICIOUS!
      I made a batch for myself and the next day I made another batch to bring out because they were soooo good!
      No one would have guessed they had zucchini in them either. I love and adore this alternative to other brownies filled with processed/refined sugar and flour etc.
      I use an egg instead of flaxseed so I can't comment on how they would be otherwise but ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!
      Can't get enough of them - I'm baking another batch right now 🙂 thank you, thank you, thank you!
      5 STARS!

By lunch it is perfectly amazing- moist peanut butterey, chocolatey- i die every time!!! Mine are a bit crumbly also as someone mentioned, but the crumbles dont count as a brownie...they are yummy extra free stuff! Will try the extra flax as suggested and let you know if it helps, but girl, these rock!

      I have made your black bean and zucchini cookies a number of times and really love them. Today I thought I would try this recipe instead. It was a lot quicker to put together and get in the oven. Oh my gosh these are amazing! I thought the cookies were good, but the taste and texture of these is so much more like eating a real brownie. I think I have my new post workout favorite. Thanks for sharing all your yummy recipes.

      Okay, so I made these last night. First of all... YUMMY!!! BUT... I kept feeling super uneasy about using a loaf pan. I thought for sure my brain had confused the names of ALLTHEPANS, because these turned out quite tall, more cake-like, than brownie-like. Delicious! Love them! But I was expecting something a bit flatter and gooeyer... You were talking a loaf pan that you would make a quick bread in, right? Would 30 minutes be too long to do these in an 8x8 pan? It's hard to tell how "tall" your are from the pictures.
      Sincerely,

        Hey Amy! Hmmmm your loaf pan sounds right. Mine didn't get that thick so I'm not sure what happened. Did you use more than 3/4 tsp baking soda? I haven't made them in an 8x8 so I'm not sure, maybe check them every ten min?

          If you make them in an 8x8, I'd recommend reducing the cooking time. 30 minutes over cooked them and they came out dryer than they were supposed to be. I know they aren't because a friend got me hooked on these after she made them. Her's were fantastic. Don't get me wrong, my first batch didn't didn't go to waste. I'm making them again tonight and adjusting the cooking time. 🙂

      I made these using almond butter and, as I didn't have chocolate chips, I chopped a couple of squares of Belgian chocolate, and opted for the splash of natural vanilla extract. This recipe is quotes simply one of the best desserts I've made. It also has the added benefit of being relatively healthy!

      on a snapchat note...I'm following you but haven't seen anything! and I doing something wrong? or just nothing there yet?

            I re-searched, checking spelling 🙂 and it shows Hummusapien with your full name under it, so I unfollowed and then refollowed. I can click on it and see your profile pic thing? but nothing shows up in my stories from you. maybe you have it set so only your friends can see snaps?

            now I feel like I'm just sounding like a crazy person, but all I want is yummy noms in my stories 🙂

        I'd say maybe triple or quadruple in a 9x13 pan?

      Oh my goodness these look insane. I literally drooling at the laptop and wishing I had one of these to dip into my honey rooibos, yum.
      Totally adding these bars to my to make list. I love that you have whacked in some sneaky veggies too... and drippy peanut butter... I have found this Ozzie brand that is the crunchiest and drippiest with salt - so good!

        These look divine...but my husband absolutely HATES maple syrup, real or otherwise, is there a substitute i could use for this?? Maybe honey??

          Thanks! They don't taste at all like maple syrup--it's just used as a sweetener. I haven't tried them with honey but I'm assuming that or agave or your liquid sweetener or choice should work. Thanks!

            Can I use unsweetened applesauce instead of maple Syrup? I make my own apple sauce and would like to avoid the sugar if they will still taste ok?

          • Alexis says

            February 14, 2019 at 8:22 am

            They wouldn't be sweet so I would not recommend it! Sugar is what makes them taste good, I' consider them a treat and a healthy treat at that, enjoy 🙂

      it frustrates me how companies are so sneaky about trans fat...that needs to GO like yesterday.

      since this has zucchini, its like eating veggies right?? and im a firm believer that chocolate chips are healthy and should always be applied liberally 😛
