Delicious and moist. Finally a brownie that has some nutrional value. I didn't feel so guilty eating them!

This was pretty good. I omitted the extra 1/2 cup of sugar and didn't miss it. I used wheat germ instead of all purpose flour since I didn't have any and I like the way it turned out. I purreed 4 baby zucchini instead of shredding since I don't care for green chunks and since that was all that I had, I was little short of the 2 1/4 cups called for. When I make this again I will try to add the full amount. I upped the cocoa level to 5 1/2 tblspoons and will do that again.

I will definitely try making these again. I made this in the
