Gluten Free Zucchini Brownies

I never would have imagined zucchini and chocolate would be good together.  Surprisingly, they are!  I found this recipe in a forum at Celiac.com  After my first batch, the kids liked it so much, they were gone in two days!  So, if you or your kids don't like vegetables, here is a great way to get them in.

Ingredients

1 Cup Gluten Free Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Xanthan Gum
3/4 Cup Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
3/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 Cup Baking Cocoa
1 Egg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil
1 Cup Peeled/Shredded Zucchini
1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips
1/4 Cup Chopped Nuts

Directions
In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.  Stir in the egg, vanilla, and oil.  Stir in the zucchini (it will moisten the batter).  Stir in the chips and nuts.  Spread batter into a sprayed 8x8 pan.  Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees.  Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
