These are really good. The zucchini makes the brownies very moist and delicious!
The batter will not be dry after you add the Zucchini.
Serve with icing if you'd like!

I just made these for work - they are SO yummy - but crumbly

I would suggest beating the top down into the pan right before you put them in the oven.

SO yummy tho YUM

I made these last night and they are really good! You can't even tell there is zucchini in there. Really moist. More like a dense chocolate cake than brownies, but in a good way. I never liked "cake like" brownies from the box - these are not like that, they are better :)

No walnuts for me though.

My coworkers thought they were awesome too!

I will definitely be making these again.

I bet it would work with eggplant too. I always make "zucchini bread" or cake with eggplant, works great.

ETA: It took more like 45 minutes for them to cook though.

I have seen brownie recipes that use mashed black beans. Work some of those into this recipe and I bet they would really be fabulous.

Zucchini is always surprisingly good in baked goods. A local coffee shop around here has been selling vegan zucchini and raisin scones lately... Oh, they are soo yum!
