Succulent Vegan Zucchini Brownies: A Delectable Delight

Step 1

Preheat your oven to a toasty 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and give your baking vessel a good spray with cooking oil – whether it's a 10x15-inch glass dish or two 9x5-inch loaf pans, make sure they're well coated.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the coconut sugar, oat flour, cocoa, cacao powder, and baking powder until the mixture is smooth and lump-free, using a sifter if needed. Set this bowl of goodness aside for now.

Step 3

Next, melt your chocolate chips in a makeshift double boiler setup, ensuring you stir consistently and keep an eye out for any chocolatey mishaps. This process should take around 5 minutes but keep an eye on it to avoid any burning.

Step 4

Now, it's time to blend together the zucchini, grapeseed oil, flaxseed, and vanilla extract until you have a smooth and slightly warm mixture. Combine this green goodness with the melted chocolate, stirring well until everything is thoroughly mixed. Set this bowl aside for a moment.

Step 5

Gently fold the coconut sugar mixture into the zucchini-chocolate concoction, ensuring you don't overmix. The batter should be thick and luscious, so let it sit for a few minutes before giving it a gentle stir. Pour this decadent mixture into your prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Pop your creation into the preheated oven and let it bake until the top looks dry, shiny, and starts to pull away from the sides. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean after about 25 minutes. Once baked to perfection, let your brownies cool in the pan for at least an hour to set before indulging in these delectable treats.
