Healthy Protein Brownies

Serves: 12

Prep: 40 Min

This is the ultimate fudgy healthy protein brownie recipe, and you don’t even have to tell your friends it’s made without gluten, and with zucchini and Vega One® Organic All-in-One Shake (what’s up 20 grams premium plant-based protein, veggies and greens, and 50%DV of 12 vitamins and minerals??). We certainly won’t!

Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp ground flaxeeds
  • 6 pitted dates, chopped
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup shredded zucchini
  • ½ cup apple sauce
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 serving chocolate Vega One® Organic All-in-One Shake
  • ½ cup Dutch dark cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • ½ cup quinoa flour

Preparation

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F.

  • Combine ground flax, chopped dates and water in a small bowl and let sit for 1/2 hour.

  • In a food processor, shred zucchini until fine.

  • Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until just combined.

  • Grease a 9×9 pan with coconut oil and pour in batter.

  • Bake for 20 minutes for moist fudgy brownies, or 25-30 minutes for more cake-like brownies.

  • Let cool 15 minutes before cutting into squares.

    Enjoy!
