Flourless Glutenfree Zucchini Brownies

I have to admit that I am leaning more and more towards the Paleo Diet in one way or another.  For most part I have already excluded  grains out of my diet and  most of the majority of dairy foods too  though I do still want to have my cheeses, I'm not ready to let those go quite yet. I'm not so fond of the high fat in the LCHF diet, after a while it does get to be a bit too much, and I have found myself craving for a simple sallad between turns.. and not so much bacon..  to be honest, I haven't had bacon in a while. I wonder why.

Anyways,  back to subject, I found this  recipe online. I was craving for  something sweet but something totally grainfree and came across Delighted Momma and her blogsite on Paleo foods. I fell for her version of the flourless zucchini  brownies and tried it out.  Mind you, I forgot to add the nutmeg, but it was still a  success! I can guarantee you  with my kids, there wasn't anything left in the dish by the end of the evening. Not even a single crumb!

For those that would like the recipe  in swedish, I hath converted it here.. well.. roughly. Since I do use the american cups in the recipe. I went after those..  basically. But  all in all..  yeah. I hope you'll forgive. I'll add pics next time I bake this again,  the cake was eaten too quickly this time, I didn't have the  chance to get in a few shots!

Zucchini Brownies eller Glutenfritt Kladdkaka!

Du behöver:
1 kopp mandelsmör (ca en liten brk Markatta Mandelsmör)
1 och en halv kopp Zucchini (ca 150g skalat och finhackat)
en tredje dels kopp honung (ca 10 rågade matskedar svenskt honung)
1 ägg
1 tsk vaniljpulver
1 tsk natriumbikarbonat
1 tsk kanel
ca 80-100g mörk choklad 70-80%, finhackat

1. Värm ugnen i förväg ca 180C.
2. Blanda alltsammans i en bunke. Det blir en ganska kladdigt och löst kletigt "deg".
3. Smörj en form. En liten form räcker.  Det går väl också grädda i en springform om du har en sån.
4. Häll i. Grädda i nedersta delen av ugnen ca 35 - 45 minuter. Testa gärna med en tandpetare om det kommer ut torrt.
5. Låt svalna av. Sen  njuuuut!



Än så länge äger jag inte ett matberedare för att kunna göra all mat som kräver finess moment, men  man kan finhacka  grönsaken och chokladen i denna  fall. Det fungerar lika bra för det!

Mina ungar som inte tycker om grönskaer annars tyckte att kladdkakan blev jättegott! De trodde inte att det inte fanns en enda gnutta mjöl i den eller att det fanns zucchini i den heller. Fast nästa gång skall jag prova med att köra in kakao nibs istället för Lindts choklad.

However a krm (kryddmått) is  the equilavent of 1 milliliter = a 5th of a teaspoon.. 
in this recipe  it demands a bit less than a 5th of a teaspoon otherwise  the Stevia  might give a bit of a bitter aftertaste.
