Zucchini chocolate brownies are so good!
Do you ever just come across a recipe that you just know will be a hit? This is one of those. Zucchini chocolate brownies are not only low carb and sugar-free, but they're also a great way to sneak in some extra veggies on an unsuspecting crowd. You just can't go wrong when you douse something in chocolate!
Let's take a look at why this is a low carb foodie's dream come true. You'll notice that almond flour and coconut flour are used instead of regular wheat flour. These options have few carbs but offer the same consistency and texture you'll find in other cake-like desserts. Another bonus? There is no added sugar! Instead, erythritol and stevia are used to bring plenty of sweetness. We dare say, you won't be able to tell the difference!
An important tip that you should remember when making this delicious dessert is to remove as much moisture as possible from the zucchini. Too much moisture can influence the consistency of the brownie, and it won't turn out the best. Take a few extra minutes squeezing the zucchini to make sure it's as dry as possible before mixing it with the other ingredients.
The best part? This keto-friendly treat is SO easy to make. You just mix all the ingredients together and then pop it in the oven to bake. The result is a perfectly cooked brownie that is much better than anything that comes out of the box. For those of you with kids, you can keep the zucchini just between us. It's a great way to get more veggies in their diet without the battle.
If you want a simple, classic dessert with a little more nutrients packed right in, then zucchini chocolate brownies are the way to go.
