I thought it was over, I really did.
But alas, this morning, I woke up to this…. 
Oh yeah?
OH YEAH?! 
ZUCCHINI BRUTALITY!!!
Take that, zucchini motherfudger.
I think my parents want to admit me to a mental institution; the zucchini have pushed me over the edge.
But I did end up making some sweet stuffed zucchini, which I’ve missed.
And some zucchini brownies.
Chocolate Almond Butter Chia Brownies
Look at that little nut.
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
- 2 egg whites
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (not packed)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole spelt flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp each cinnamon & nutmeg
- 3 tbsp chunky almond butter
- 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Microwave or use a double boiler to gently melt chocolate. Cool slightly.
Mix yogurt, egg whites, vanilla & the chocolate. Fold in the zucchini.
Mix all dry ingredients, then combine the wet/dry & mix very well. Add the almond butter & mix.
Pour into 8×8 pan sprayed with nonstick spray, sprinkle with chia seeds & bake for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
I won’t use the ‘M’ word, but these came out sooo cakey & awesome!! Alright, so maybe I’m making amends with the zucchini, and I’m sorry I went all Thunderdome on one of your family members. 
I need to find out if these are freezable. I guess I could just freeze them & find out… but Google is much quicker.
