Healthier Zucchini Brownie

I am constantly looking for new ideas on how to use up the many zucchinis I grow in a summer.  I only have so much room in my freezer for grated zucchini to use during the year.  I was excited to find this recipe because it is always nice to find a desserts on the healthier side of things.  This recipe has zucchini, apples and bananas in it.  The addition of these keep the brownie unbelievably moist.  The people I shared this with all seemed to really enjoy it.

Healthier Zucchini Brownie

1/2 apple sauce
2 small or medium mashed bananas
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups finely shredded zucchini
2 cups flour
1/2 cup walnut pieces

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 pan.
  2. Mix together the apple sauce, mashed bananas and sugar.
  3. Add the vanilla and cocoa powder and stir until combined.
  4. Then add the baking soda, salt and zucchini.  Mix together.
  5. Finally add the flour and walnuts, stirring until everything is well blended.
  6. Spread evenly into the pan and bake for about 25 minutes.  The brownie should spring back when it is touched.
