These brownies were delicious! Sweet, fudgey, and everything a brownie should be. If no one told you zucchini was in this, you would never know. Easy to make too. My 23 yr old, who hates zucchini and never eats it, ate and enjoyed these! I like that the recipe makes two pans, one to eat and one to share or freeze. I brought the second pan to work, and got lots of compliments and a request for the recipe! Thank you, Mary! Btw, Mary is right, these do not need frosting!

I currently work in an office, behind a desk, pushing paper. My dream would be to open my own bakery.
Spending time in the kitchen is very relaxing to me, and it keeps me connected to my domestic side!
