These are yummy and taste a little more like chocolate if you have semi sweet chocolate chips. I added 1/3 cup to this recipe and made them good, but there is fat in chocolate chips. Not sure what the nutrition with the chips are added, but not that bad given 1/3 cup to the total recipe. My brownies I put in muffin tins so, I got 22 instead of the 40, so my calories are a little more. It still satisfies your sweet tooth and healthy!

Ingredients

1/2 C Applesauce
1 1/2 C white sugar
2 t vanilla extract
2 C all purpose flour
1/2 C unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 t baking soda
1 t salt
2 C shredded zucchini
1/2 C chopped walnuts (optional, not included in nutritional analysis)

    My mom used to make chocolate zucchini cake when we were growing up. I imagine that recipe is a little healthier. :smile:
