2 zucchini
1 cup white whole-wheat flour
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup dark chocolate morsels, divided
1/4 cup canola oiil
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar or Splenda
2 large egg whites (see leftover uses for egg whites/egg yolks)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions: Peel and roughly chop zucchini. Put in food processor and pulse until it looks like a really thick green applesauce. Put in a seive over a bowl, and force most of the juice out. Let drain overnight in fridge. (Don't throw away that zucchini juice! Use it in a smoothie, like this smoothie!) Preheat oven to 350° F. Line 9-inch-square baking pan with foil. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. In another small bowl, whip the egg whites a bit, and combine with oil and vanilla. |
Melt ¾ cup morsels in large, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) power for 1 to 1 1/2 minute; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. Stir in oil/egg/vanilla mixture, brown sugar, and granulated sugar or Splenda. Stir in flour mixture; fold in zucchini. Spread into prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup morsels over top. |
Yield: 12 brownies
