BROWNIES!

This recipe is similar to the chocolate zucchini bread that was posted awhile ago, although I think this one is more chocolatey and has a better texture. This one would also be great with a little less zucchini for that true brownie flavor. I have also used a new sweetener and please remember like all added sweeteners we are moving our insulin respond outside of that good middle ground and slightly defeating the purpose of a true paleo. But as will everything life is best with moderation, so it's not going to kill us if it's every once in awhile.

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 C applesauce
2 small bananas mashed
1/2 C raw coconut sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 C cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 C shredded zucchini
1 3/4 C flour (I used 1/2 almond and 1/2 coconut)
1/2 C walnuts 
Preheat oven 350 degrees, grease and flour pan. Mix applesauce, bananas and sugar. add cocoa and vanilla.  Add everything and mix well. Pour into pan and bake until toothpick comes out clean.
