Well, probably not so much, but when one of the ingredients is zucchini, we can at least pretend that they are healthy, right??!! I LOVE Southern Living and I came across this recipe for Zucchini Brownies and I had to try it! I found it in their Southern Living: Homestyle Cooking cookbook. (This is my favorite cookbook right now!) Here is their recipe!
3 Cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 cups grated zucchini (I used one large zucchini, about 3/4 pound)
1/2 Cup butter, melted
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate morsels
1/2 Cup walnuts
COMBINE the first 5 ingredients in a bowl, stirring well. Combine zucchini and butter, add to flour mixture, stirring well. Combine sugar and next 3 ingredients; add to zucchini mixture, stirring 2 minutes.
POUR batter into a greased 15x10 inch jellyroll pan; top with chocolate morsels and walnuts. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.
(I used a 13x9 pan because I like my brownies a little thicker and I dusted them with some powdered sugar.)
These are SOOO yummy and the zucchini makes them very moist! They were really more cake-like to me than a brownie. (Ya'll like how I tried to make the plate fancy? Ha! The chocolate was too thin, oh well, I tried and it tasted good, so there ya have it!) Oh, and incase you were wondering, you'd never even know that there was zucchini in these delightful little things!
