Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 inch pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
In a large bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
Stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Add the grated zucchini and mix well.
Spread the batter evenly in the greased pan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow brownies to cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting, microwave chocolate chips, almond milk, butter, and vanilla for 35 to 45 seconds until melted.
Whisk until smooth, then add powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
Spread the warm frosting over the cooled brownies and let set before slicing.

Notes

You can substitute coconut oil for vegetable oil or use a flaxseed egg for an egg-free version. Dairy-free butter and chocolate chips make this fully dairy-free. Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. The batter may seem dry before adding zucchini—don’t overmix. If frosting is too thick, add more almond milk a little at a time. Brownies can be made ahead and frozen (unfrosted) for up to 3 months.
