Fudgy Zucchini Brownies

What to do with all that zucchini?  Since zucchini is still going strong, we will leave you with one of the most delicious zucchini brownie recipes we have ever made.  You can use any of our zucchini for this recipe (green, yellow, or striped Romanescu).  Inspired by our favourite Love & Lemons cookbook and blog.

Fudgy Zucchini Brownies
Yields: large 9x12 pan

4 Tbsp ground flaxseed
10 Tbsp cool water
2 1/2 cups unbleached flour
2 cups cane sugar
1 1/3 cups cocoa
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sea salt
1 cup butter, melted
4 cups roughly grated zucchini (not drained)
1 cup dark chocolate chips, optional (for sprinkling on top)
flaky sea salt, optional (for sprinkling on top)

1) Mix ground flaxseed with water in a large measuring cup and stir well to combine.  Let sit for about 5 minutes.  This mixture will thicken.
2) Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
3) Add zucchini and melted butter, plus flax-water mixture.
4) Stir to combine.  Let stand a few minutes, then stir again.  The mixture will be thick but spreadable.
5) Spread into a greased (or parchment lined) 9x12 glass baking dish.  
6) Top with chocolate chips (optional) and flaky sea salt (optional).
6) Bake in preheated oven at 325F for about 50 minutes.  Test skewer should come out mostly clean with only a few crumbs.
7) Let cool and then slice.  Store in fridge.
