As a child, I remember my mom baking the most delicious brownies for me. I loved how our home would fill up with that chocolatey smell as the brownies would bake in the oven. One of my biggest concerns as a mom, is to make foods that have some nutrition value to them. I am fortunate that my 6 year old eats most veggies, but I know of a lot of moms out there who have an issue with their kids including more greens in their diets. I saw one of my friends posting about how she had made zucchini brownies for her family. So I decided to take it a step further and make mine gluten-free. I called them “Veronica’s Double Chocolate Flour-less Zucchini Brownies”. My version is low in sugar. High in chocolate taste. It also contains a healthy amount of fats. Here is the recipe:
