    These were excellent brownies. I used Valrhona chocolate and used a combination of chocolate nibs and chocolate chips. I thought the vanilla worked really well. I had vanilla bean seeds from Oaxaca and added a teaspoon of vanilla bean seeds to the brownie recipe. It is great that it uses zucchini in the batter as a core ingredient. It's hard to believe that there is zucchini in them when you taste it. So good.

    Delicious! I was looking for a way to use up some of the zucchini that I had from my CSA and this was a perfect solution. I was definitely a little wary while preparing the batter, it did not seem moist enough and was not a very pourable batter. But the result was delicious, moist brownies that my boyfriend and I both love.

    Hard to believe a dessert with so much vegetable in it could taste so good! Fudgy, rich, and delicious, the zucchini keeps the brownies moist, but they don't taste "healthy" (not that they should with all that sugar and chocolate...) These brownies don't call for a nominal amount of zucchini either, but rather a full 2 cups so it's great to make when you have a glut of summer zucchini you can't keep up with making savory dishes alone. I used half whole wheat flour and a 11x7 baking dish (I don't think 11x8 is a very common size, to be honest), so needed to bake slightly longer. Normally I would ignore directions telling me I needed a mixer to make a simple recipe such as brownies, but I did use my hand mixer for the step where you add in the zucchini -- it was not coming together easily with a wooden spoon and it seemed to need the force of a mixer to get the moisture out of the zucchini and work it into a batter. Would definitely make these again.
