I found a recipe for zucchini brownies that claimed to be healthy, but it had 1/2 c. oil in it. I thought that was a bit too much, so I made up my own version--still rich, moist, and very chocolatey, but not so high in fat! I like to use whole wheat flour in cookies and brownies because I think it makes them moister, but if you prefer, you can substitute all or partly white flour. You can add nuts to this as well, if you like. A sprinkling of powdered sugar on top is a pretty finish. This is a great way to use up some of that abundance of zucchini--and to get your kids to eat some vegies! :)

Ingredients

24 serv.
  • sugar1 cup
  • vegetable oil1⁄4 cup
  • non-fat vanilla yogurt1⁄2 cup
  • egg1
  • vanilla extract2 teaspoons
  • whole wheat flour2 cups
  • unsweetened cocoa powder1⁄2 cup
  • baking soda1 1⁄2 teaspoons
  • salt1 teaspoon
  • cinnamon1⁄2 teaspoon
  • finely grated zucchini2 cups
  • chocolate chips1⁄2 cup

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Beat sugar, oil, yogurt, egg, and vanilla together until smooth.

  2. 2

    Add flour through cinnamon and stir until a thick batter forms.

  3. 3

    Fold in the zucchini and chocolate chips. As the moisture from the zucchini soaks into the batter, the batter will soften a bit.

  4. 4

    Spray a 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan with cooking spray and pour the batter into the pan.

  5. 5

    Bake at 350°F for 25 - 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.

  6. 6

    Cut into squares and enjoy!
