Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Liberally spray the bottom and sides of a 10x15-inch oven-proof glass dish or two 9x5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
- Combine coconut sugar, oat flour, cocoa, cacao powder, and baking powder in a large bowl. Mix well until no lumps remain, using a sifter if necessary. Set aside.
- Place chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Combine zucchini, grapeseed oil, flaxseed, and vanilla extract in a blender; blend on high until completely smooth and slightly warm, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Pour zucchini mixture into the melted chocolate; continue heating and stirring with a rubber spatula, scraping down the sides, until mixture is well combined. Remove top bowl from the heat.
- Fold the coconut sugar mixture into the zucchini-chocolate mixture, until mixture is combined but still slightly lumpy; do not overmix. Batter will be very thick with a smooth texture. Let sit for 5 minutes, then gently stir. Pour batter into the prepared pan, spreading so it is as flat and even as possible.
- Place brownies in the preheated oven until they look dry and shiny on top and start to pull away from the edges of the pan, and until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 1 hour.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 and spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix together the applesauce, sugar, syrup and vanilla.
- Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt - stir into wet ingredients (it will look pretty dry at this point - don't worry, it moistens up with the zucchini. However, if necessary, add a little more applesauce).
- Stir in zucchini - if batter is still too dry, add a couple tbs of applesauce.
- Add any optional ingredients (walnuts, chocolate chips).
- Spread into baking pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until brownies spring back when gently touched.
Tips:
- Use ripe zucchini for the best flavor and texture. Grate the zucchini finely so that it blends well into the batter.
- Be sure to drain the zucchini well before adding it to the batter. This will help to prevent the brownies from being too wet.
- Use a combination of almond flour and oat flour for a gluten-free and nutty flavor. If you don't have oat flour, you can make your own by grinding rolled oats in a blender or food processor.
- Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder for an extra boost of nutrients. Chocolate or vanilla protein powder would be a great addition to these brownies.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help them to hold their shape.
Conclusion:
These zucchini brownies are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite dessert. They are made with simple ingredients and are packed with nutrients. Whether you are looking for a gluten-free, vegan, or just a healthier brownie recipe, this one is sure to please. So next time you have a zucchini on hand, don't be afraid to try these brownies.
