Chocolate Chip Zucchini Blondies

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Blondies

Tis the season for zucchini recipes and I am HERE FOR IT!! These blondies actually happened accidentally so I really can’t pretend that I’m that proactive.

In reality, I was making burgers with some hidden zucchini in them for my kiddos and I had some leftover zucchini that was begging to be put into a baked good.

TA-DA… these blondies were born!!

Now, that being said… it wasn’t a one and done situation. I originally made them with just chickpea flour but it needed something else. Round 2 involved adding in almond flour (DELICIOUS!) but I wanted to try a grain option (but still gluten-free) as well. Round 3 was all oat flour and holy ish guys… the texture was AMAZING but I wanted the flavor of the almond flour soooo round 4 was born.

The conclusion? Round 2 and 4 are BOTH winners! If you don’t mind using grain, I would absolutely use the oat & almond flour mixture. It creates a much fluffier texture that isn’t in the least bit gummy.

I know you know what I’m talking about… we have all made a baked good that was just a liiiiittle too much on the gummy side.

So, in conclusion, whether you use chickpea or gf oat flour- just make sure to pull them out of the oven before they are fully done! We don’t want overcooked gummy blondies mmk?

Also- I couldn’t leave well enough alone. I had to add a serving of Nuzest Just Natural protein in them to amp up the protein factor (chickpea flour has a ton!) If you don’t have it or just don’t want to use it- I’d replace the protein with more almond flour! If you are a Nuzest fan or are just curious about it- code “ahealthyharmony” will save you on their website!
