Zucchini Brownies-don't be frightened


Do you ever wonder what can I do with so many zucchini squash? Make brownies


2 C Zucchini, peel and finely shred
2 C FLour
1 1/4 C Sugar
1tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp Soda
1/2 C Cocoa
1/2 C oil
2 tsp vanilla

Mix zucchini, oil and vanilla. Combine with dry ingredients. Do not beat. Add 1 C nuts if desired. Batter will be very thick. Grease and flour bottom of a 9 X 13-inch baking pan. Bake at 350* for 30 minutes or until tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean. Top will have glazed appearance. Place brownies on rack and let cool completely before icing (about 2 hours)

  1. Yum! I totally dislike zucchini, but my mom tricked me into eating it in a chocolate (zucchini) cake. Sneaky! You can find the recipe here:

    Shredded zucchini freezes really well. Put 2 c. shredded zucchini in a freezer safe bag and freeze. Thaw out in the fridge and use as called for in the recipe.
