Chocolate Chip Zucchini Brownies

Due to the zucchini, these aren't only healthier than your normal brownies, but also very moist. They are also really quick and easy to make. Absolutely love them, hope you'll enjoy them as much as I did.

Ingredients

Batter

 
  • 1 cup peeled and shredded zucchini
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 50 g milk chocolate
  • 1 cup of gluten-free flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ¾ tablespoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon organic banana powder (optional)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 ml milk
  • 100 g white chocolate chips

 

Glaze

  • 50 g white and 50 g milk chocolate
  • 20 g coconut oil
 
Instructions
 

1) Preheat oven to 180C or gas mark 5.

 

2) Peel and great the zucchini (don’t throw away the peel - you can use it as an additional ingredient in a stir-fry!).

 

3) Melt coconut oil and chocolate in the microwave or over a hot water bath.

 

4) In a separate bowl, sift flour, cacao powder and baking soda. Add salt, banana powder (optional), sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, milk, coconut-chocolate mix and grated zucchini.

 

5) Combine all ingredients, add chocolate chips and mix together thoroughly.

 

6) Fill the batter onto a rectangular oven-proof baking dish lined with grease-proof baking paper. The size of your baking dish depends on how thick you want your brownies to be (the smaller your dish, the thicker your brownies).

 

7) Bake for 25 minutes.

 

8) Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Meanwhile, melt chocolate and coconut oil over a water bath or in the microwave and glaze the brownies (while still in the baking dish). Leave to cool and for the chocolate to set. Cut in squares.

 

Enjoy!

      The reference ranges are usually included in the data but they may be cryptically expressed. Just type in everything from the results as it appears in the form you have it. Put it all in a new post window. We'll unpack it for you.

      Where would I locate the reference ranges?  I'll take a look at my results again....

      Scott,   Can you look at my post and tell me if my numbers are off the chart!?  I won't be able to see my Gastro for another 7 weeks and I am freaking out at the numbers. JustGemi

      Welcome to the forum!  Could you also post the reference ranges for your test results, unfortunately each lab has a different range, so there is no way to interpret your results without that info.

      The number of genes associated with celiac disease is more than two, but there are two main genes that are commonly tested for celiac disease susceptibility. These genes are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. HLA-DQ2: The majority of individuals with celiac disease (about 90-95%) carry the HLA-DQ2 gene. HLA-DQ8: Around 5-10% of individuals with celiac disease have the HLA-DQ8 gene. Other Genes: While HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 are the primary genes associated with celiac disease, having these genes doesn't guarantee that someone will develop celiac disease. Additionally, a small percentage of individuals with celiac disease don't have either of these genes. This suggests that other genetic factors may also play a role, though they are less common. This article has more information about the genes associated with celiac disease:
