Low-carb zucchini brownies recipe
You need these ingredients:
- 1 medium zucchini
- 4 THE BUTTER
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (liquid)
- 1 egg (size M)
- 150 g birch sugar (xylitol)
- 150 g Mandelmehl
- 4 heaping cups EL Baking cocoa
- 1 TL Vanilleextrakt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 60 g chocolate (at least 70% cocoa content)
This is how you prepare the zucchini brownies:
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 175 degrees top/bottom heat. Line a rectangular baking pan with baking paper so that the brownies can be easily removed later.
- Prepare zucchini: Wash the zucchini, cut off the ends and grate them into a bowl with a fine grater.
- Melt butter and coconut oil: Melt the butter on low heat in the microwave or in a small saucepan. Add the liquid coconut oil and stir the mixture into the grated zucchini.
- Mix wet ingredients: Add the egg, birch sugar and vanilla extract to the zucchini mixture. Mix everything thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is formed.
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, baking cocoa, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Gradually fold this mixture into the zucchini mixture until a smooth dough forms.
- Chop chocolate: Chop the chocolate into small pieces. Fold about two thirds of it into the dough, the rest will later be used as a topping.
- Pour the dough into the mold: Divide the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle the remaining chopped chocolate over it.
- Bake and cool: Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Then let the cake cool in the tin for another 30 minutes before carefully turning it out and cutting it into rectangular pieces. Let the brownies cool completely before serving - this will make them even more moist!
Tipp: These brownies are not only low carb, but also a smart way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet. Perfect for anyone who wants to snack healthier!
