ZucchiniChocolateBrownieOMG. That’s what I’m filing this recipe under. I found it online (this recipe is all over the Internet, so I’m not sure who to credit – it is on the King Arthur site so I’ll say it came from there). I tweaked it and then we ate it for a week, moaning each time. It’s rich, fudgy, satisfying and evil.  Except it’s made with zucchini so it must be totally good for you. Right? I’m going to make this every year with my overabundance of zucchini.

One ingredient that you might be unfamiliar with is chocolate extract. I ordered it from King Arthur, but you can also find it on Amazon. It’s like vanilla extract and I add it to chocolate recipes. It enhances the chocolate flavor and makes it even deeper and richer.
