Low-Carb Zucchini Brownie Recipe

From the kitchen of Dr. Randall Hansen

What follows is a very easy recipe for making delicious no-sugar, low-carb brownies (or brownie muffins). It takes about 15-20 minutes of prep time, and another 30 minutes for baking.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups of erythritol granular (you could also use Stevia or other non-sugar sweetener)
  • 1/2 cup light olive oil -- or avocado oil
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (all-natural, sugar-free)
  • 2 cups low-carb baking mix (such as Bob's Red Mill) -- or Almond Flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened quality Cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts of your choice. (We use pecans, but walnuts are good too.)
  • Optional: low-carb (no-sugar) baking chips to sprinkle on top
  • Directions
    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9 x 13 inch baking pan for brownies, or prepare 12-16 baking cups for brownie muffins.
    2. In large bowl, mix together erythritol, oil, and vanilla until well blended.
    3. Next, add the low-carb baking mix, cocoa, and baking soda.
    4. Finally, fold in the zucchini bits and walnuts.
    5. Note: if zucchini is extra moist, you may need to add more baking mix to keep "brownie consistency," which is thicker than cake batter.
    6. Spread final mixture into pan or baking cups. Sprinkle low-barb chips to top, if desired.
    7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the brownies bounce back when gently touched. For all brownies, it is always better to slightly undercook than overcook -- which results in dry and crumbly brownies.
