Kristin Cavallari is a TV personality, boss mom and bestselling-author of "True Roots," her latest cookbook which features some of her family-favorite recipes that are gluten, dairy and sugar-free.
Cavallari shared her recipe for zucchini almond butter blondies with Michael Strahan and Sara Haines on "Strahan & Sara."
"Zucchini is actually incredibly moist so if you put it in baked good like these. ...it's really moist, it's delicious and you can't taste it," she said, "I'm all about a hidden vegetable."
With just about five ingredients, this recipe is not only easy to make, Cavallari said, but also a healthy dessert option for kids.
