Zucchini Almond Butter Brownies

Zucchinis are like one of my closest friends in the summer, they are always around. I can always count on zucchini to be producing in my garden. So I’m always looking for creative ways to incorporate them into my recipes. Hence this zucchini brownie recipe. Just like best friends, you will bond over this rich, chocolatey, fudgy and delectable dessert that includes hidden zucchini. You will never know zucchini was included in the making of these delicious brownies.

These healthier zucchini brownies are packed with wholesome ingredients. Yet they are dense, ultra-rich and fudgy but you can enjoy them without the guilt!

How to Make Homemade Healthier Zucchini Brownies

Zucchini brownies are easy to make. They are brownies that are healthy but don’t taste healthy.

The first step is to shred your zucchini. I use my food processor with the grating blade to shred a bunch of zucchini at the same time, so I have shredded zucchini to use all week or for the freezer. If you don’t have a food processor, use your grater to shred the zucchini. Depending on the size of your squash, it could take 1 or 2 zucchinis to get 1 cup.

Put the shredded zucchini in a tea towel and squeeze as much water out as possible. Don’t skip this step. This is important to make sure you get out as much moisture as possible.

Homemade Zucchini Brownies

Place the zucchini into a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add egg, almond butter, honey, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Next, add in cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt and melted butter. Again, mix until well combined. Lastly, add in chocolate chips. I prefer to use dark chocolate chips. You could also add in other mix-ins like nuts or sprinkle sea salt on top!

You will then pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes before these decadent, chocolatey, fudgy zucchini brownies are done!
