\"flourless<\/a><\/p>\n

A friend recently posted a picture of their\u00a0kids eating something chocolate cake-y for breakfast. And said it contained vegetables. Obviously, I immediately wanted to have some in front of me. Now I’ve made it twice, and my three-year-old is in.love. It’s flourless, only a few ingredients, full of zucchini, and super tasty – definitely a winner!<\/p>\n

So: zucchini first. You can use a box grater, but the food processor is so fast.<\/p>\n

\"shredded<\/a>I have a problem wherein I can’t stand getting out the food processor and washing all its pieces for one task – so I compulsively look around for something else to use it for. We have some shredded cheese here, if anyone needs some….<\/em><\/p>\n

This is my favorite kind of recipe to make with a kid helper – everything gets dumped in, in no particular order, and mixed with a spoon for as long as you want. (See also: breakfast cookies<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\"mini<\/a><\/p>\n

We like the mini chocolate chips because they didn’t seem to sink as much as regular ones – but don’t make a special trip or anything, since there’s nothing sad<\/em> about a melty layer of concentrated chocolate, right?<\/p>\n

\"stirring<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m still not sure how almond butter and zucchini and not much else turns into cake! I’m calling it snack cake, since it has just enough chocolate to be a decadent snack, but not enough to count as dessert.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re gluten-free, not-very-strict paleo, a real foodie, a gardener with way too much zucchini, or just hungry, give flourless chocolate chip zucchini snack cake a try!<\/p>\nPrint<\/a>
