How to Prepare Green Machine Brownies: Kale, Zucchini and Avocado [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In the food processor mix your kale, zucchini, coconut milk, applesauce, maple syrup, seeds, coconut oil and vanilla. It should be very smooth.
In another bowl, mix your dry ingredients. Slowly mix in your bright green wet mixture. Put into a sprayed 8x8 pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until you can put in a toothpick and it comes out clean. Let cook before frosting.
Mix your frosting ingredients with your food processor or immersion blender so that there are no avocado chunks and it is completely smooth. When the brownies have completely cooled. Frost away and enjoy!
You can usually keep these in the fridge, but it is not necessary.
