I am always looking for something to use up our summer overload of zucchini, and these brownies are really good! They're very moist with a nice texture. I did make a few adjustments -- I used 1/2 cup (1 stick) light butter and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce to cut down some of the fat. I didn't have any yogurt on hand, so I substituted light sour cream. Instead of the frosting, I put about 1/2 cup chocolate chips in the batter, along with 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. These came out perfectly, and I personally don't think they need any glaze or frosting (although my DH will argue!) I am adding this recipe to my "zucchini regulars" -- thanks for posting! -M =)
