My Mom's Zucchini Brownies
This recipe of Zucchini Brownies is actually my Moms. She really makes the best Zucchini Brownies.
In fact, for many years I never even knew that she was sneaking in Zucchini into these brownies which was a common affair, especially during the Summer holidays while growing up.
One day when she told me, I was very irritated as to why would she sneak in veggies into something as decadent as a dessert.
But today when I am a Mom, I realized that its only because its the best way to get kids eat some veggies! Right!

Soon I got the recipe from my Mom and its just the best. Its pretty incredible how this is one recipe which I make so often and every time I bake these incredible Zucchini Brownies, I feel like I am so close to her.
Flourless Zucchini Brownies
I use Coconut Flour in place of All Purpose Flour to make these Flourless Zucchini Brownies. Its pretty easily available and is gluten free and healthier.
Also Flourless Zucchini Brownies are fudgier than regular brownies. This is because it has less flour to fat ratio and the more fat which is oil or butter or sugar, the fudgier brownies.

Ingredients

- Coconut Flour - this makes these Zucchini brownies gluten free and flourless
- Baking Powder - acts as a leavening agent, helps Brownies rise and get shape. Use GF Baking Powder
- Cocoa Powder - I use unsweetened Natural Cocoa Powder.
- Vanilla Extract - perfect for a chocolaty dessert
- Brown Sugar & Granulated Sugar - I use both these sugars for greater sweetness and stability in the brownies
- Zucchini - I grate the Zucchini using a box grater and squeeze out the excess water in a colander, using a kitchen towel
- Kosher Salt - a pinch of Salt
- Olive Oil - I use Olive Oil because Oil gives the best shape to Brownies.
- Chocolate Chips - I use white chocolate chips. You can use Dark Chocolate Chips or nuts of your choice or shredded Coconut as well.
- White Vinegar and Greek Yogurt - I use these tow as a replacement for eggs. It acts as a leavening agent, gives shape and structure to the brownies and also helps them rise.
