This was a winning recipe from the Go Dairy Free / ZenSoy recipe contest in January 2011. The recipe and photo were submitted by Maiah. Ingredients: - 1/3 cup melted nondairy margarine
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup raw cane sugar [check the sugar if you are trying to keep it vegan]
- 2 tablespoons flax meal
- 6 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup chocolate soymilk [such as ZenSoy Organic Soymilk]
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 2 cups, heaping, of grated zucchini
- 1 cup mini dairy free chocolate chips
Optional glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 tablespoon ZenSoy Chocolate Soymilk (or alter ingredient amounts until desired consistency is reached). Directions: - Preheat oven to 350F, grease a 9X13” pan with nonstick spray.
- Mix flax and water in a small dish, set aside.
- Sift baking soda, flour, cocoa and spices, set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, mix margarine, oil, sugar, flax and water mixture and soymilk.
- Add the dry ingredients alternately with the zucchini, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Bake 35-45 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, and drizzle with chocolate powdered sugar glaze if desired…enjoy!
