 These are SO delicious - and the kids won't even notice the hidden veggies!
Ingredients 2 cups zucchini, grated (not tightly packed) 1 large egg 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted (measure when melted) 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup cacao powder (you can use cocoa powder but note it is more processed than cacao) 1.5 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup wholemeal flour Method Place grated zucchini in a colander while you are getting the other ingredients ready. Preheat the oven to 190c and line 20cm x 20cm baking dish with unbleached baking paper. In a large bowl add egg, oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract; whisk to combine. Add cacao powder, baking soda and salt; whisk until well mixed. Give zucchini a gentle squeeze but do not ring out completely, add to a bowl and stir. Add flour and protein powder and mix gently until combined. Transfer batter into prepared baking dish and level with spatula. Bake for 25-28 minutes or until the centre is barely jiggly. If you over-bake the brownies will have more of a cake consistency (which still tasted good, but might not be what you're looking for). A toothpick inserted has to come out somewhat not clean. If the centre is too jiggly, bake a bit more – ovens vary. Remove from the oven and let cool for about an hour in the tin. Lift by the baking paper flaps and transfer to a cooling rack to cool off completely. Cut into 16 squares. I make this regularly and recently have started making a double batch and filling cupcake moulds instead of baking in a dish. They work perfectly! Need help understanding your nutrition requirements?

Hello and Welcome!
Hi! I'm Amanda and I'm so glad you found us. We would love to help you reach (and maintain!) your health and fitness goals.
I started She's a Knockout in 2009 after discovering for myself the life-changing benefits of healthy eating and regular exercise and becoming a qualified personal trainer and boxing instructor - I wanted to empower other women by sharing this knowledge! I've lost over 20kg myself and have kept it off many years and 2 kids later. Along the way there's been challenges - learning about nutrition and exercise, struggling for years to fall and stay pregnant, then sustaining a healthy and active lifestyle while raising young kids. I've personally selected a team of positive, empathetic, encouraging and professional female trainers to help you lose weight, get fit and feel strong, sexy and confident! We specialise in training women in all stages of their lives, including prenatal and postnatal. We come to you in many locations across Perth & Brisbane - whether it's your home, local park, apartment gym or office. We bring all the equipment and will come at a time and place that suits you. |
