Who doesn’t love a good brownie? I found this recipe for frosted zucchini brownies at the Taste of Home website. If you have never browsed this website you must. It is a great resource. If you are a subscriber to one of there magazines, it’s even better. They have some recipes only available for subscribers. They are usually recipes that were recently in their magazines. So in my quest to find recipes to use up my zucchini I went to this site and came across this recipe. Oh, my these are good.
They are very moist, but they do have more of a cake like texture. So this could be called a cake, but how cares. Cake or brownie, I don’t care, it just delicious and it includes zucchini. You would probably never guess it, especially after the frosting is place on. One other thing about this recipe, there are NO EGGS in it. Hard to believe after seeing the end result. I didn’t do the nuts with this either for those picky people in my home. I am definitely going to put this is the tried and true file. Now I won’t be so worried about how much zucchini keeps coming out of my garden if I get to make these. Yummy!
