Ingredients
Materials
- Electric mixer
- mold
- chopper
Preparation
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Add the sugar to the yolks and whisk until the mixture whitens. Then add the corn starch and salt, and mix well.
Clean the zucchini and chop them finely using a chopper (if you don't have one, grate them). Add this to the previous mixture.
Melt the chocolate and add it to the batter. Mix well.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form, and gently fold them into the batter, lifting the mixture to avoid crushing the whites.
Pour this batter into a greased mold, then arrange some walnuts on top.
Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
And there you have it, your zucchini brownies are ready!
