Up until now, I was convinced the best brownies were my mascarpone brownies. Well, I just had a revelation! These Zucchini Brownies are simply the best! The chocolate and orange flavor is divine and the crunchy mix of roasted seeds complements perfectly the fudgy consistency.
The Zucchini taste is undetectable in the final product, but they succeed to keep the cake moist, giving it this delicious fudgy texture. The initial recipe (discovered on one of my favorite blogs, Love & Lemons) uses coconut oil, but I preferred to use a more neutral aroma, and I used cold-pressed sunflower oil (bought from Darvari Schit/Monastery in Bucharest). I had a feeling that orange extract would be perfect in combination with chocolate, so I replaced the vanilla extract. I am so happy with the final result! Chocolate + orange extract = Christmassy brownies, perfect for this time of the year. Actually, perfect for any time of the year! :)
Although the sun these days is not a booster for a Christmas atmosphere, My Lady S and I thought of a way to change that. Every evening we chose an arts&crafts tutorial from Instagram and we cut, glue, and paint little angels, stars, cards and so many more. When we don’t do crafts, we bake cakes and pies. My Lay S is such a lovely, adorable little version of me and I am so very proud of her!
Below please find the recipe for the best Chocolate Zucchini Brownies! Obsessed! Enjoy!
Note: let the brownies cool completely before cutting if you want that fudgy texture. l
