Healthy Zucchini Brownies

11

If you’re looking for a good-for-you yummy snack, these zucchini brownies are for you. We are big fans of sweet treats but on really cutting back on the sweetener. These zucchini brownies give you all the chocolate feels without the guilt!

Slice your zucchini into medium sized chunks prior to adding to your mini food processor. I used coconut sugar, but you can use any granulated sweetener here. I used olive oil but you can use any neutral oil like avocado oil or melted butter. If you like a healthy zucchini you should try my Healthy Zucchini Banana Bread.

I used chopped chocolate but you can use chocolate chips, as stated in the recipe box below. I also highly recommend using flaky sea salt on top too. If you like this recipe you will love my Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Brownies or my Flourless Pumpkin Brownies.
