Zucchini brownies

We are enjoying our summer's bounty of zucchini in our garden. For my first zuc recipe of the year I decided to try zucchini brownies. I wanted to make them pretty healthy, so I heavily modified this recipe.

I didn't make the icing, because gross. And I subbed canned pumpkin for the oil, whole wheat flour for half the regular, and took out the walnuts. My final recipe looked something like this:

• 1 cup canned pure pumpkin
• 1 1/2 scant cups white sugar
  
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
  
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups shredded zucchini
• 1 bar of Dove dark chocolate with blueberries and almonds, chopped into small chunks

And the final brownies looked like this:


I think that they were enjoyed by all. Definitely not as sweet and buttery as regular brownies, but still tasty!
