Gluten Free Zucchini Brownies

Zucchini Brownies are one of our treats. When I started a Gluten Free diet it was in the middle of harvest season and we had zucchini coming out of our ears. Determined to turn my favorite treat into a gluten free snack I came up with this recipe. First, you would never know these are gluten free! And second, you can't even tell these are filled with a healthy veggie. Plus the gluten free version contains whole grains so it's twice as healthy!

Gluten Free Zucchini Brownies

  • 1 1/2 c. sugar
  • 1/2 c. oil
  • 2 t. vanilla
  • 2 c. shredded zucchini
  • 1. c. brown rice flour
  • 1 c. sweet rice flour (or sticky rice flour)
  • 1 1/2 t. baking soda
  • 1 t. salt
  • 1/3 c. cocoa

Mix all together well and pour into a 9x13 greased pan. Bake for 35 mins at 350F or until a toothpick comes out clean. Once cooled you can make the frosting:

Frosting

  • 6 T. butter
  • 6 T. milk
  • 1 1/2 c. sugar
  • 1/2 c. chocolate chips

On the stovetop, mix together the butter, milk, and sugar. Heat together until the mixture boils. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips. Pour over the brownies and let it cool before you cut.

Thanks for these! What is the reason for using sticky rice flour, and can I substitute it with other flours and xanthan gum? I’ve been looking for sugar-free/ gluten-free/ vegan baking recipes!! :)

You could try it but yes you’d need to add some xanthan gum. I just like using it because it’s cheap and in my gf flour blend that I make:)
