Ingredients:
For the Brownie
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 1 cup Almond Meal
- ½ cup Raw Cacao Powder
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp Coconut Oil, melted
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 2 egg
- 2-4 tbsp sweetener of choice (rice malt syrup, honey, maple syrup, agave, stevia)
- optional: 1/2 – 1 cup chopped nuts
For the Ganache
- 1/4 cup Melted Homemade Chocolate (or another good-quality dark chocolate)
- 1/4 cup Coconut Cream (the stuff you find in a can in the super market, it often separates so make sure it’s well mixed up before using)
Method:
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl with a wooden spoon.
- Transfer to a lined baking tray.
- Bake for 30min or until a fork is removed clean.
- While the brownies are baking, mix the melted chocolate with the coconut cream and place in fridge until ready to top the brownies.
- Remove brownies from oven once cooked and allow to completely cool on a wire rack.
- Use a spatula to spread the ganache over the top of the brownie before slicing into 25 pieces and gobbling up!
