Zucchini Almond Butter Blondies

With spring here and summer not far behind I thought I would share a couple of zucchini recipes with you. This recipe I saw on the television show “The Chew” when they hosted Kristin Cavallari who has a new cookbook out called  “True Roots”. Her book is made up of real food, farm to table type of recipes with many of them being gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar-free.  With Robby needing to be gluten free and dairy free, this was just the kind of book I was looking for.  Not only did I make this recipe, I also bought the book.  Lots of great and easy recipes in the book.  You can also find a number of her recipes online and on Pinterest. This is such an easy recipe that really does taste like an indulgent chocolate brownie.  You would never know there is zucchini in it.  A perfect recipe for the kids and adults alike!

INGREDIENTS
1 cup creamy almond butter
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt (can use regular table salt)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1 large zucchini, grated and NOT drained

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper or spray with non-stick baking spray.  In a large bowl, mix together the almond butter, egg, salt, baking soda, sugar, and vanilla until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and zucchini. Put into prepared baking dish pressing down to spread evenly in the pan.
Bake for 25 – 30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.

Enjoy!
