Gluten Free Chocolate Zucchini Brownies {recipe}

The weekend before this past one, our neighbor surprised us with 3 HUGE zucchini's from their garden. I immediately knew I had to bake something with them and thought about the typical zucchini bread. But, decided to make a gluten free version of a chocolate zucchini brownie. The result was a fudge-like brownie that we all LOVED - even our 22 month old got excited when I placed little squares of the brownie in-front of her for dessert. I served our brownie pieces with my homemade hot fudge sauce on top and even with whipped cream too one of the nights.

Gluten Free Chocolate Zucchini Brownies

Ingredients:

• 2 cups gluten free flour of your choice {I used Domata Flour}
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup apple sauce
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups shredded zucchini {liquid squeezed out}

Directions:

Sift together all the dry ingredients and then mix in the liquid ingredients into the same bowl. Once, combined, pour into a greased 9x13 glass baking dish. Bake for 35 mins at 350F or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool a bit and then serve as brownies are amazing when they're still warm from the oven :)
