Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Zucchini Brownies Bites.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give three mini muffin pans a light spritz of cooking spray to ensure your brownie bites come out easily.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together some water and ground flax meal, stirring until well combined.
Step 3
Let this sit for about five minutes; it will transform into a gel-like consistency that acts as a fantastic binder.
Step 4
Meanwhile, grab another bowl and whisk together self-rising flour and cocoa powder until they’re perfectly blended.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together softened butter and white sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy—this is where the magic begins! Next, add half of your flax mixture to the butter and sugar, mixing it in thoroughly.
Step 6
Then, pour in the rest of the flax mixture along with a splash of vanilla extract, and mix until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to gently fold in the flour and cocoa mixture, stirring just until you see no dry bits left.
Step 8
Finally, add in the grated zucchini, folding it in with a spoon until it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 9
Spoon the luscious batter into your prepared mini muffin pans, filling each cup about two-thirds full for the perfect bite-sized treat.
Step 10
Pop them into your preheated oven and bake for around 20 minutes, or until the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan—this is the moment you’ve been waiting for! Once they’re done, let the brownie bites cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 11
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you anticipate these deliciously moist brownie bites!.
