ZUCCHINI BROWNIES
If you love cooking with zucchini definitely put these on your recipe list!
❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
Every summer we find ourselves with an abundance of zucchini so we make all of our favorite recipes. These brownies are one of our favorites and you would honestly never know they have zucchini in them. They are loaded with lots of chocolate and are great with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
SWAPS
We make these with semi-sweet chocolate chips; you could use dark chocolate if you prefer. If you are not a fan of nuts, you can simply leave them out. We have not made these with Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream, but I do think that would work. We chose not to put a frosting on these brownies but you can if you like.

Can’t wait to try! Do you think I could use fat free plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream?
It would probably work, but using fat free will change the fat content of the recipe.

Can I use cream cheese instead of sour cream?
I have never tried it with cream cheese, Billie. Therefore, I cannot advise you. Sorry.
Can you use yellow squash?
I have not tried it but I would think you could, Carol.
This may seem like a silly question but do you peel the zucchini first ?
No, you don’t peel it Judith.
Do you squeeze the moisture from the zuchinni before mixing?
Yes, if your zucchini is wet I would squeeze the moisture out, Diane.
I made these delicious brownies, very moist and great chocolate flavor.Great way too use zucchini.
