Zucchini Brownies

"It is easy to sneak in healthier ingredients because the chocolate covers it up! Options: use half splenda half sugar, add 1/2 c chopped nuts, use all purpose flour. After cooled, top with "Chocolate Frosting for Zucchini Brownies", also on Food.com. I personally like them fine without the frosting, but they are good with it as well. Personal choice. http://www.food.com/recipe/chocolate-frosting-for-zucchini-brownies-461602"

directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease and flour 9x13 baking pan (I use glass and just spray Pam).
  • In a large bowl, mix together the oil, sugar, and vanilla until well blended.
  • Add eggs and mix until blended.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
  • Stir into the sugar mixture.
  • Fold in zucchini (& nuts if you wish; I pureed zucchini so it was undetectable, but just shredded is fine, it blends in for the most part).
  • Spread evenly into prepared pan.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes in preheated oven, or until brownies spring back when gently touched.
  • Cool & frost, if desired.

    Great recipe! The brownies are a little lighter, more cakelike, than a traditional scratch recipe but still moist and tender. I took a shortcut with the frosting - simply sprinkled about 6 oz dark chocolate chips on top during the last minute or two of baking, then spread them like frosting. Definitely a keeper!

    These brownies are great! So moist. And full of chocolate flavor. With the frosting it's the best. We can't notice the whole wheat flour in it. I reduced the sugar by half. I shredded the zucchinis. I made half the recipe in a 8 x 8 inch pan. Next time I'll use parchment paper in the bottom of the pan so it's easier to remove the brownies. Thanks herbiechic :) Made for PAC Fall 2011

I love to cook-- all sorts of things. I like to try new dishes and experiment with recipes. I also like to get together with a few family members and put meals together to cook at a later time, like Dream Dinners.
