Paleo Zucchini Brownies

-1 C. almond butter                                             -1 tsp baking soda

-1 1/2 C grated zucchini                                       -1 tsp cinnamon

-1/2 C organic/raw honey                                    - 1 Tbs cocoa

-1 egg                                                                 - 1 C dark chocolate chips

- 1 tsp vanilla                                                       - 1 Tbs olive/safflower oil 

-PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees.

-Combine all ingredients (except chocolate chips) and mix until blended.

-Stir in chocolate chips.

-Pour mixture into a greased 9x9 baking pan (I used a glass Pyrex dish).

-Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. (35 minutes was not long enough and, at 45 minutes, the toothpick came out clean but it was a bit cake-y. Suggestion: 30 minutes for gooey brownies).

This recipe was delicious... It was a bit unusual at first but once you get a few bites in (middle portion of brownies), it was rich, smooth, and extremely tasty. I liked this recipe because I ate two small pieces (I cut it into 16 small pieces), and didn't feel the need to eat another bite! I am a HUGE chocoholic and almost always need something for my sweet tooth. This worked out well because I am thoroughly satisfied and don't feel the need to eat the rest of the batch. I'm interest to see what my husband thinks of it when he gets home. I'll get his reaction and add it later. ;) 

If you try this recipe out and modify it any, please let me know if you like it better... I LOVE having the absolute best recipes and if your version is better than mine... I want it. ;) Thanks in advance!
