i promised this a few days ago-finally remembered to bring it home from work!

ok- i'm going to post it as she made them sugar and all- and OMG the sugar!!!! i am sure you can change the sugar to splenda and sf powdered....i also would think you could add a scoop of protein powder.

they were cake like -i used a fork not my fingers to eat-but very moist and there was no taste or texture of zucchini!!!!!

Zucchini Brownies
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
2 tsp. baking soda
Beat well; then mix with rest of ingredients.

1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
5 Tbsp cocoa
1 tsp. vanilla
2-3 cups grated zucchini
1 cup chopped nuts
2 cups flour

Bake in a 9 X 13 greased baking pan @ 350 for 20-25 minutes

Chocolate frosting
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter or margarine; softened
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
about 2 Tbsp milk
1/2 cup cocoa

can sprinkle nuts on top

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Umm, I am probably asking a dumb question...Do you use flour?  It does sound good!

Hiya dear Pat,I have had some luck with spraying my pan with Pam,and substituting unsweetened apple sauce in place of oil,sounds weird but works,as moist as can be!

Sorry Margo, you're right -- I jumped the gun....

I have used unsweetened applesauce in place of oil, but I'm not sure about substituting the whole 1 1/2 cups......It might need at least 1/4 cup oil for tenderness.

I tweeked a blueberry cake recipe this week and it turned out pretty good....the only thing was it called for 2 cups of all purpose flour and I try to use whole wheat or oat flour whenever I can.

I just like to see the recipes on this board WLS friendly --- after all we are supposed to eat that way.   Just my thought.
