Ingredients

Scale

1 cup almond butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup shredded zucchini
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar (or brown sugar), eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Sift in the cocoa powder and baking powder, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips gently until evenly distributed.

Allow to cool in the pan before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness. These brownies are even better the next day as the flavors meld together.
