Amazing Chocolate Zucchini Brownies!

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!

Amazing Chocolate Zucchini Brownies - gluten free!

Makes a 9 x 13 pan of brownies

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).

Brownies fresh out of the oven.  Remove from oven and then make the chocolate glaze and pour on top while still warm! 



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 !
