Another way to use the produce of my over-productive zucchini plant in the garden! Sneaking vegetables and fruit into a brownie is also a plus!

24 bars (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup applesauce
1 cup raw sugar
2 teaspoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded zucchini
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup semisweet vegan chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350 and spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.
2
In a large bowl, mix together the applesauce, sugar, syrup and vanilla.
3
Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt - stir into wet ingredients (it will look pretty dry at this point - don't worry, it moistens up with the zucchini. However, if necessary, add a little more applesauce).
4
Stir in zucchini - if batter is still too dry, add a couple tbs of applesauce.
5
Add any optional ingredients (walnuts, chocolate chips).
6
Spread into baking pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until brownies spring back when gently touched.

This is a fantastic recipe! I have zucchini coming out of my ears and it is a great way to use it up in a healthy way (and also satisfies my sweet tooth!). I am also doing Weight Watchers and this comes out to only 2 points per serving. Way to go!

Thank you Veggiegirl!!! I think that you may have saved me from myself. I have a bit of a junk food addiction, and I am trying desparately to lose weight...this recipe helps with both. I did sub splenda for the sugar, I know that it's usually a no-no, but I am trying to save calories in any way possible, and I did not add the nuts or chocolate chips (though I think it would be fantastic in these). Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly and they are fabulous. Very moist, chocolaty and sweet. The recipe is really easy to follow and without the sugar, almost totally guilt free. I might acctually be able to stay on my diet with recipes like this. Thank you again so much for sharing this recipe, it's definately a keeper.
