Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups shredded zucchini don’t squeeze the water out

Instructions
 

Main Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Using a box grater, shred one medium zucchini (you'll need 1 ½ cups). Don't squeeze out the water as we want all that moisture for our brownies! Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, then set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and honey really good for about a minute, then mix in the coconut oil and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the dry ingredients in with the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined. Batter will seem thick, but that’s okay because the zucchini will add the needed moisture. Mix in the shredded zucchini and fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour brownie batter into a 9×9 baking dish lined with parchment paper or sprayed generously with nonstick spray.
  • Bake the brownies in the oven for 30 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting. Enjoy!
