Zucchini Brownies

Zucchini Brownies

These are very moist and great for snacking. I prefer them after they have completely cooled for a sweet treat with lots of nutrition. At around 100 calories and less than one gram of fat per brownie these are a smart choice instead of your usual chocolate indulgence.

Ingredients

3 cups zucchini -- grated

1-1/2 cups sugar

2/3 cup fat free plain yogurt

3 tsps vanilla

2 cups whole wheat flour

½ cup wheat bran

½ cup wheat germ

1/4 tsp salt

2 tsps baking powder

2 tsps baking soda

½ cup carob powder

2 T flaxseed

Directions

Preheat oven at 350. Prepare a 9X13" baking pan with cooking spray.

In a mixing bowl, combine zucchini, sugar, yogurt, and vanilla.

In another mixing bowl, combine all the remaining dry ingredients.

Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients just until moistened.

Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes. Makes 24 bars.

Cover tightly and store in refrigerator.
