I finally got around to making the Chocolate Chip Zucchini Brownies. The house smells so chocolaty. Who would have thought to put zucchini in a brownie. Thanks www.healthyfoodforliving.com. They really are divine. They are moist, chocolaty, with a hint of zucchini. There are not many ingredients and the recipe is super easy. Mine came out a little more cake like then what was pictured on there site, but I used the same ingredients. Perhaps it is the special brownie pan I use. It’s that one you see on TV that cuts the brownies as they bake. My mother bought it for me on QVC (her favorite channel), so I tried it and have loved it since. It really does bake the brownies a lot better than a pyrex glass dish and I don’t destroy them trying to cut them. They come out cut and looking pretty! Here is the recipe for anyone who has extra zucchini laying around:
