We are literally swimming in zucchini from our garden and my son loves brownies so today I decided to bake some zucchini brownies. They were a big hit! Now my son doesn’t like frosting but if he did I think these would be great frosted too.
My son gobbled down the brownie and didn’t even mention that it tasted different. My husband said there was a slight texture difference (a little more dense) but he enjoyed it and said that it was the best way to eat his veggies that he has had in a LONG time 
So I would give this recipe two thumbs up for taste and the fact that you are able to sneak in a vegetable into your families dessert.
On a side note I also decided to bake a box mix and added 2 cups of zucchini to the batter. I baked it in a 9×9 inch pan and baked it for 35 minutes. It was also a huge success with my family. So if you have some box mixes in your pantry you can sneak in a veggie that way too. I like the from scratch recipe because you know what you are putting into your body and it is not processed but I wanted to add this note as well.
