Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Liberally spray the bottom and sides of a 10x15-inch oven-proof glass dish or two 9x5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
  2. 2 Combine coconut sugar, oat flour, cocoa, cacao powder, and baking powder in a large bowl. Mix well until no lumps remain, using a sifter if necessary. Set aside.
  3. 3 Place chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
  4. 4 Combine zucchini, grapeseed oil, flaxseed, and vanilla extract in a blender; blend on high until completely smooth and slightly warm, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Pour zucchini mixture into the melted chocolate; continue heating and stirring with a rubber spatula, scraping down the sides, until mixture is well combined. Remove top bowl from the heat.
  5. 5 Fold the coconut sugar mixture into the zucchini-chocolate mixture, until mixture is combined but still slightly lumpy; do not overmix. Batter will be very thick with a smooth texture. Let sit for 5 minutes, then gently stir. Pour batter into the prepared pan, spreading so it is as flat and even as possible.
  6. 6 Place brownies in the preheated oven until they look dry and shiny on top and start to pull away from the edges of the pan, and until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2 Combine bread flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, vital wheat gluten, wheat germ, flaxseed meal, and sea salt in a large bowl; stir in buttermilk. Add yeast mixture and honey; stir until no dry spots remain. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; let dough rest 20 minutes.
  3. 3 Turn dough out onto a floured surface; knead about 7 minutes, it will be soft and slightly sticky. Add more flour if needed. Shape into a ball. Coat a mixing bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in the bowl and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm, draft-free place for 2 hours.
  4. 4 Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead briefly. Cut dough in half; return half to the bowl and cover. Form other half into a cylinder. Cut into quarters and cut quarters in half, yielding 8 equal-sized pieces of dough. Shape dough pieces into balls. Repeat with remaining dough half.
  5. 5 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line one 11x17-inch baking sheet with waxed paper, another baking sheet with a flour sack towel, and two other baking sheets with parchment paper sprinkled with cornmeal.
