Zucchini Brownies

1 cup gluten-free flour mix

1/2 tsp. xanthan gum

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

3/4 tsp. baking soda

1/4 cup baking cocoa

1 large egg

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/3 cup veg. oil

1 cup peeled/shredded zucchini

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/4 cup chopped nuts

extra chocolate chips for sprinkling on top

In bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Stir in egg, vanilla and oil. Stir in zucchini (it will moisten the batter). Stir in chips and nuts. Spread batter into a sprayed 8x8" pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Bake in preheated, 350 degree, oven. Bake about 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

*zucchini will be hard to see in the brownies unless you leave on the peel.

I made some today for my dd. I also use part p.b. chips...mmm! I took them to our women's Bible study group last week and they all wanted the recipe except for one lady-she didn't like chocolate...lol! The neighbors loved them too, it's a nice way of giving zucchini away...HA HA!

These sound great. Did your gluten-free flour mix contain xanthan gum? Mine does, so I think I probably don't need the extra 1/2 tsp. Thanks for posting!

It is sorghum or rice flour with tapioca and cornstarch.

(I made another pan full this morning, then frozen the extra zucchini)

Thanks for this recipe. I also have waaaaay more zucchini that we can eat or I want to freeze. However, we always love brownies. What a great way to sneak more vegies into my husband's diet. LOL

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
