ZUCCHINI BROWNIES
The texture of these rich bittersweet brownies is more cakey than fudgy and absolutely full of moisture, thanks to the addition of shredded zucchini. We combine the zucchini with sugar and a little salt and allow it to stand for a few minutes before stirring in the rest of the ingredients; this draws out some of the liquid and helps to hydrate the batter. Be sure to line the baking dish with parchment paper; it allows you to lift the brownies out of the hot pan so they can cool more quickly.

HEALTHIER ZUCCHINI BROWNIES
A great way to get more veggies into my little boy - and a tasty (nearly guilt-free) treat for me! This is a combination of other brownie recipes I've read, with an eye to make it healthier: less oil and refined sugars, plus whole wheat flour! By pureeing the zucchini and using prunes to get a dark, rich color, no one will ever know there's veggies in the brownies! Who knew that gigantic zucchini would turn into dessert?

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Puree zucchini in a high-powered blender or food processor. Measure out 2 cups of zucchini puree, then add prunes until level hits 3 cups. Return to the blender and process. Add brown sugar, cocoa, oil, salt, and vanilla extract; blend until totally smooth.
- Whisk whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and baking soda together in a bowl. Stir in nuts. Pour chocolate mixture into flour mixture and stir together as gently as possible; batter will be very thick.
- Spread batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth as much as you'd like; this batter will not smooth out much as it bakes. Sprinkle Demerara sugar and chocolate chips on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until brownies just spring back when touched in the middle or a toothpick comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool before devouring.

Tips:
- Use ripe zucchini: The riper the zucchini, the more flavor and moisture it will add to your brownies. Look for zucchini that is dark green and firm, with no blemishes.
- Grate the zucchini finely: This will help it to distribute evenly throughout the brownies and prevent them from becoming too watery.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the brownies tough and dense. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a nonstick baking pan: This will prevent the brownies from sticking and make them easier to remove from the pan.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and prevent them from crumbling.
Conclusion:
These zucchini brownies are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite dessert. They are made with whole wheat flour, zucchini, and cocoa powder, and they are naturally sweetened with honey. They are also low in calories and fat, making them a perfect choice for those who are watching their weight. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, try these zucchini brownies. You won't be disappointed!
