Make fudgy zucchini brownies in a few simple steps. These gluten free brownies are full of hidden zucchini goodness, but you wouldn’t ever guess it! The flavor of deep, delicious chocolate masks the zucchini, so you have a hidden veggie dessert the whole family can enjoy. We also make these brownies with no added sugar or sugar alcohols. Instead of erythritol, we use our sugar free maple syrup that’s sweetened with all natural monk fruit. That way you can have brownies that are good for you and don’t have any after taste.
Making healthy zucchini brownies is very easy! You simply combine the wet ingredients and then stir in the zucchini. We like to shred the zucchini with a cheese grater or something similar. Then take paper towels and gently squeeze the moisture out of the zucchini. This will ensure that your brownies have a nice texture as zucchini is a naturally moist vegetable. From there, mix in the dry ingredients and then bake until the toothpick comes out almost clean.
So, why would you want to make zucchini brownies? It’s an easy way to increase your vegetable servings and a delicious way to do it, too! If your kids don’t want to eat vegetables, try this healthy gluten free brownie recipe with hidden zucchini in it. They won’t realize there’s healthy vegetables in there and you don’t need to worry about added sugar or wheat flour in this recipe. We use low carb almond flour to make it keto friendly and celiac-friendly, too.

What do zucchini brownies taste like?
Zucchini brownies might sound like a strange idea, but these taste fudgy and decadent like a full sugar brownie. These are sweetened with our keto maple syrup and contain no added sugar at all. They also don’t have any erythritol, sugar alcohols, or artificial sweeteners. You won’t believe how chocolatey and delicious these brownies are and no one will believe that there’s zucchini baked inside! This is a great way to hide veggies in a delicious dessert.
How can I eat more vegetables?
Sometimes it’s hard to eat more vegetables, especially if you’re not used to eating them with every meal. It can be even more difficult if you have young children who don’t want to eat vegetables, but you want to make sure they get all the nutrients and benefits from veggies. So, a great way to eat more vegetables is to hide them in your dessert. These sugar free zucchini brownies have veggies hidden in the batter, but you can’t taste them at all. That way you and your family can enjoy healthy brownies that taste good.
Do I need to put brownies in the fridge?
Yes, you should store your keto zucchini brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The brownies will be good for up to a week, but taste the best within the first four days or so.
How do I cut brownies?
Cutting brownies without making a mess can be difficult. So the best way to cut brownies is to wait for them to fully cool. You can do this by putting them on a cooling rack or leaving them in the pan. To remove from the pan, parchment paper can make this process easy as you simply lift it up from the pan and set down on the counter. Another option is to flip the fully cooled brownies onto a cutting board. To make cutting even easier, consider greasing your knife between each cut. You can also use a pizza cutter!
Can I decorate brownies?
Yes, decorating brownies is easy and fun! You can melt our keto chocolate chips and pour them over the brownies for a delicious chocolate topping. You can also sprinkle in some nuts on top of the brownies before baking.
How can I make gluten free brownies?
You can make gluten free brownies by using almond flour instead of wheat flour. We also recommend lupini flour for cookies and cakes.
