Ingredients
  • Brownie Mix - I used Trader Joe's Gluten Free Mix

  • ½ large raw zucchini chopped
  • ¼ cup walnuts or ¼ cup almond butter
  • 1 egg
  • fresh coconut to garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. Follow the instructions on the box of brownie mix for oven temperature as it varies with the kind you are using.
  2. Whisk together brownie mix, liquid, oil and egg using the ingredients listed here in place of the ones on the box.
  3. Stir in chopped beets and zucchini.
  4. Gently fold in the nuts.
  5. Pour into baking dish (use one slightly bigger than suggested on box to account for all extra ingredients added to the mixture).
  6. Bake according to box directions.
