Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3/4 cup natural salted peanut butter
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup (can sub honey)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup shredded zucchini (don't squeeze out water)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed*
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4-1/2 cup chocolate chips, plus more for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a loaf pan or 8x8inch baking dish with cooking spray. Brownies will be thicker with a loaf pan.
- Place all ingredients except chocolate chips in a large bowl. If your nut butter is unsalted, add 1/4 tsp fine sea salt. Whisk until well combined. Fold in chocolate chips. The batter is very thick.
- 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.
- 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.
