Gooey Delicious Gluten Free And Vegan Zucchini Brownies

Helloooo! This is a recipe to save!!!

I got this recipe idea from Dorthy Kern’s “Crazy for Crust” blog and I was highly pleased with the outcome both times!

I have made this recipe twice, both a little different from the original blog recipe and each time it was very delicious. The many people who ate it also came back and back until the pan was scraped clean. So i would say it’s a hit! The best part, you can’t even tell there is zucchini in it and it’s gluten free and dairy free (without the frosting).

As my husband says, I have a really hard time following a recipe, not because I can’t but because everything inside me wants to do it my way. That’s my favorite part about cooking- to be free and make it up as I go. If I have to pull out traditional teaspoons and do everything to the exact, I’d almost rather not cook.

Here are my slight variations to the recipe and I hope you make them one way or the other! I also added my own pictures from both times of making these delicious goodies!

1st Time:

The first time I used Bob Mill’s All Purpose Flour where the first ingredient is garbanzo bean flour and also a little Bisquick mix, which I use often as a 1:1 in a pinch. The first time I made it, the brownies were like a chocolate lava cake with a raw middle, which was delicious. The first time I also did the frosting quickly – not quite the recipe and it didn’t ever get a crispy crust but regardless it made for a fudgy top to the gooey brownies. The garbanzo beans do stand out a bit as it has a very distinct flavor. In the future, this mix is best when the flavors are super strong or more savory or nutty. I did not do nuts the first time.

2nd Time:

The second time I used a Krusteaz multipurpose gluten free flour where the first ingredient is rice flour. I also cooked it for 38 minutes because I wanted to see if they would cook through better and It did. It definitely was not as gooey although still extremely moist. So regardless of the time you cook it you will enjoy it!

The recipe calls for you to add the zucchini in and let it sit for 10 minutes and then fold it in gently to mix. I did not wait and mixed it in with the stand mixer which probably broke up the zucchini even more. I also did not add in any extra liquid both times. Also, I mixed everything all at once in one bowl. Less work and less bowls and mess!
