THM Zucchini Brownies (S)

These Brownies were found on Pinterest in a "Whole Foods Mama" type blog.  I took her ideas and did some THM Tweaking.  This recipe has been tested and approved by 6 fellow THMers.  So I'm going to call it a win.  Hope you enjoy!

Chocolate Fudge Zucchini Brownies

    1/2 Cup Shredded Zucchini (Shred in Food Processor)

    1 1/4 Cup Water

    2 tsp pure Vanilla Extract

    1 Cup Coconut Oil

    1/4 Cup Golden Flax

    3/4 Cup Hershey's Dark Cocoa Powder

    1 Cup Coconut Flour

    1/2 tsp Salt

    1/2 tsp Baking Soda

    1 Cup Truvia

    1/2 Cup Semi-Sweet or 86% Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven to 350F, and lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish. In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the Wet Ingredients.  Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Pour wet into dry, stir until evenly mixed, then add the chocolate chips.  pour into the baking dish. press down very firmly until the brownie batter evenly covers the pan. Bake 19-20 minutes (brownies will look dry around the outside and wet in the middle, but they ARE done), then pat down with a pancake spatula to flatten.  Let zucchini brownies sit 15 minutes before trying to cut into squares. Makes 20-24 squares.  They crumble easily, so I recommend using a fork.

Jake covered his in Peanut Butter and SF Cool Whip... Technically, that's okay too :)

I enjoyed mine as it was.  They are SO filling and will make you guzzle water.  Then they keep you satisfied for hours.  Not too shabby for a weight loss meal huh?
