A fast-to-fix peanut butter and chocolate frosting tops these moist brownies that are a sweet way to use up your green garden squash. “We really like the cake-like texture of these brownies,” writes Allyson Wilkins of Amherst, New Hampshire.

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 35 min. + cooling

Yield: 15-18 Servings

20 35 55

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened

1-1/2 cups sugar

2 eggs

1/2 cup plain yogurt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup baking cocoa

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups shredded zucchini

FROSTING:

2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in yogurt and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in zucchini.

Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

For frosting, in a small saucepan, combine chocolate chips and peanut butter. Cook and stir over low heat until smooth. Spread over warm brownies. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: about 1-1/2 dozen.

Re: Zucchini Brownies Recipe w /pic

I have these in my refrigerator--made them last week. I took the recipe from my TOH Cookies cookbook, page 213.

I'm sorry, but I'll be honest with you--I do not care for the recipe and will not make it again. Normally, brownies do not last here, but seems DH nor myself care for them.

First off, I don't consider these to be brownies--they look/have more like a chocolate zucchini cake texture. Second, they seem dry and very bland tasting. Finally, the frosting does not stick to the "cake"--it lifts up and completely off.

Wish I had read the reviews before I made this. Others had similar complaints, yet others liked the recipe.

Maybe I just had bad luck with this recipe, but I feel I need to be up front with you in the event you are planning to make thesse.
