I knew having a garden would pay off. And pay off, it did! These brownies are amazing and since they are full of zucchini, you would be doing your health a disservice NOT to eat them since they are so incredibly healthy. (This is what I tell myself so I can sleep at night). They are moist and very flavourful although a bit more cake-like than brownie-life. If you eat them by themselves, you can taste the zucchini a bit, but that didn't bother me at all.Zucchini Brownies

These look awesome. I have a zucchini sitting on my counter right now that I will use for this recipe.
ReplyDeleteJust two days ago on Twitter I put out an all-call for zucchini brownies. Glad to have found these!
ReplyDeleteYummy! Can't wait to give these a try! I love chocolate zucchini cake, so I'm guessing these are mighty tasty.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm so hungry for zucchini brownies with cherry sauce. And so healthy too ;-) Amazing.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing,

This looks like an awesome recipe! I am so excited to try it. However, in step 5 you forgot to put how long the brownies should bake. I looked at other recipes, and they all said 25-30 minutes, so that is what I'm guessing on yours. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI have to try this one! My kids love Zuc bread and Brownies ;) Thanks for checking out my Blog! Karen B.
ReplyDeleteI am going to try these! We have had a bountiful garden this year with tons of zucchini. I wonder if lessening the amount of baking powder would make these more gooey?
