These brownies have been loved by everyone. The trick is to grate the zucchini with a very fine grater. And, of course, the lovely little layer of chocolate on the top adds a pop of extra sweetness. Enjoy!
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Mix together:
1 1/4 cup really finely grated zucchini, packed into measuring cup
1/3 cup light olive oil
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
Add, stirring until thoroughly combined:
1 cup Kristin's Gluten-Free Flour Mix
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder (I like to use a rich, dark cocoa powder)
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 tsp salt
Spread brownie batter evenly on the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes. Set brownies on a wire rack and prepare frosting (so you can pour over a warm, but not hot brownie).
Chocolate Glaze Frosting (to be spread on the brownies while warm):
(You can halve this if you want a lighter glaze, but I like this amount)
In a large, 4-cup measuring cup in the microwave, melt:
3/4 cup butter
Mix in, then heat 45-60 seconds in the microwave:
1/3 cup cocoa powder (I like to use a lighter cocoa powder, like Hershey's, for frosting)
Add and mix in:
5 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Mix in, and stir until smooth:
2 3/4 cup powdered sugar
Spread glaze over warm/hot cake. Slice cake and serve warm or cooled. Enjoy !
