Cashew Butter: (Skip this step if you have store brought nut butter) Soak cashews in hot water for 15-30 mins.
Drain well and blend in food processor until a thick paste (when you can no longer see bits of cashews). This will take about 15 minutes depending how your food processor.
Measure out 1.5 cups and set aside the remaining in the fridge for toast.
Zucchini: Remove the core (the seeds) and shred using a food processor (or alternatively you can grate it).
Measure out 2 cups of grated zucchini.
Next, take the zucchini between your palms and squeeze all excess water (the zucchini will significantly shrink in volume)
Brownies: Combine Cashew butter, Zucchini, Maple Syrup and Egg.
Add in the remaining ingredients except for the chocolate. Mix well.
Stir in Chocolate Chips.
Preheat oven to 350F. Pour into a well-greased/lined 9 x 9" Pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
Allow it cool completely, slice and refrigerate overnight.
Notes
*You can use any nut butter of choice, although cashews is the most neutral in flavor.
