Ingredients
½ cup all natural almond butter/peanut butter/ or sunflower seed butter
¼ cup honey or pure maple syrup
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tsp vanilla
½ cup cocoa powder
¾ cup gluten free oats
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp sea salt
1½ cups shredded zucchini
¾ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Pre-heat the solar oven while preparing the recipe
Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray, coconut oil, or line with parchment paper.
Place oats into a blender or grinder or food processor, and process until very finely ground (like flour.)
In a large bowl, cream together the nut butter, applesauce, honey/maple syrup, and vanilla.
Add in the oats, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix until blended.
Gently fold in the zucchini and the ½ of the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle on the remaining chocolate chips.
Bake uncovered in the solar oven for about 2 - 2½ hours at an oven temperature of 250-275
Notes
My brownies took 2½ hours to bake at an oven temperature between 250 - 275 degrees.
Actual Cooking time will vary depending on the type of solar cooker, the weather, and the amount of food being cooked. For best results, and the shortest cooking time, keep the oven pointed directly into the sun.
Or bake in the regular oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees
