The Houston Chronicle today has as its "Favorite Recipe" a brownie recipe
donated by Marjorie Dearmont:
Zucchini Cake Brownies
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 cups
grated, unpeeled zucchini
1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup chopped nuts
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa Frosting or powdered
sugar
powder
(optional)
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and lightly flour a 13 X 9 baking pan.
In large bowl, combine sugar, oil, eggs & vanilla. In medium bowl, combine
flour, soda and cocoa powder. Stir flour mixture into the sugar mixtue, mixing just
enough to moisten dry
ingredients. Stir in the zucchini and nuts. Bake 30 minutes or until brownies
test done, but are not dry. Frost if desired, or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
LOW FAT VERSION: Reduce sugar to 1 cup, eliminate oil and add 1 cup applesauce and
substitute 2 to 4 egg whites for whole eggs
(usual substitution for whole eggs is 2 egg whites. . .notation indicates Dearmont uses 2
egg whites total).
Haven't tried it yet, but it looks tasty.
