INGREDIENTS
2 cups
zucchini, grated
1/2 cup
melted and cooled coconut oil (or very light olive oil or canola oil)
1/2 cup
pure maple syrup (use the real deal! I prefer Grade B, which has a richer flavor.)
2
large eggs, at room temperature
1 tsp
vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups
whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp
kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp
baking powder
1/2 tsp
cinnamon
1/8 tsp
nutmeg
8 oz
chopped dark chocolate or 1 1/3 cups dark chocolate chips (55% to 60% dark for a classic brownie taste; 70% dark for an intense, bittersweet chocolate taste)
