Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder
  • 3.5 ounces dark chocolate
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup finely grated zucchini ensure it's well-drained
  • ¾ cup gluten-free flour blend ensure it contains xanthan gum, or add ¼ teaspoon if it doesn't
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal of the brownies later.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Heat in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each one, until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and smooth. Stir in the espresso powder.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine. Ensure the mixture is fully incorporated.
  • Stir in the salt and the grated, well-drained zucchini.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend and cocoa powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan placed on a wire rack.
  • Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve.
