Can you say...

Gluten Free Chocolate Fudge Zucchini Brownies

THREE TIMES FAST??

Wow... that was a mouth full to type, I mean say!

With Christmas fast approaching

I thought it would be good to start 

sharing a few sweet recipes

just in case you like to bake for others...

I mean, isn't that what we do??

I make sweet treat platters for my hubby, mom, auntie, 

and father in law to take to work to share....

So, I always like to include a thing or two

 for people that eat gluten free.

I have personally tried this recipe and

 they are melt in your mouth GOOD!

I honestly think these brownies 

can be a more healthy version...

but don't tell anyone I said that!!

Shhhh!!  Mums the Word, Okay?

Okay... now for the recipe!

Gluten Free Chocolate Fudge Zucchini Brownies

1/2 c. shredded zucchini

1/3 c. applesauce

1 c. plus 2 Tbsp. water

2 tsp. vanilla

3 Tbsp. ground flax meal

1/2 c. plus 2 Tbsp. coconut oil

3/4 c. baking cocoa

1 c. coconut flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. baking soda

3/4 c.  plus 2 Tbsp. sugar

1/2 c. chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. 

In a large bowl whisk the first 6 ingredients and let set for 5 minutes. 

Combine all other ingredients in a separate bowl and stir till combined.

 Pour the dry into the wet.  Stir well.  

Pour and pat brownie mixture into a greased 9x13 pan.  

Bake for 19-20 minutes. 

Take out of oven and pack down brownies with a spatula. 

Let cool for 15 minutes.

For the Glaze:

1/2 c. baking cocoa

2 Tbsp. maple syrup

1/2 c. coconut oil, melted

Mix together to form a sauce. 

Spread over your cooled brownies.

 Place the brownies in the fridge for 15-20 minutes. 

If sauce is still liquidy on top of brownies,

 tilt pan back and forth and place back in fridge.

The chocolate sauce will transform the 

brownies into a light fudgy frosting.

Happy Baking Friends!!

And Remember:

Jesus is the Reason for the Season!!
