Equipment

  • 8 X 8 inch baking pan

Ingredients

For optional topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line an 8 by 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper leaving an overhang so you can easily lift out the brownie when baked.
  • Place the grated zucchini with any juices in a bowl. Stir in the melted vegan butter, flax egg and vanilla into the zucchini.
  • Stir in the erythritol or any keto approved sweetener.
  • Add the almond flour and cacao powder and mix with spatula until everything is moistened.
  • Stir in the keto chocolate chips, if using. Mix until they are dispersed throughout the batter. The batter will look rather dry at this point but don't worry--the zucchini will express moisture as it bakes.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. I hold back a few chocolate chips and strew them on top.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until the top feels firm. Don't overbake as you might end up drying the brownies too much.
  • Let the pan cool thoroughly on a rack before lifting the brownie from the pan and slicing it.

Make the optional topping

  • Melt the chocolate chips with the butter in the microwave or over a double boiler. Use a spoon to pour it over the baked brownie. Strew the sliced almonds on top, pressing them into the chocolate. Let the chocolate harden before slicing the brownie into squares.

Notes

  • Nutrition info does not include the optional topping. Adding the optional topping will increase calories to 164 per brownie and net carbs to 4 grams.
  • Leaving out the chocolate chips in the brownie batter will reduce net carbs to 2 grams and calories to 114 per brownie.
  • Make sure the brownie has cooled thoroughly before you slice it.
  • I recommend using a glass baking pan for this brownie, because it distributes heat more evenly. A metal pan could produce a harder, more brittle brownie.
  • After slicing the brownies, place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
