Chocolate Chip Zucchini Brownies

Many moons ago when I was still in school and had to study for final exams, I stayed up late at night with my books, notes, pens, and a plate of brownies. The first thing I did whenever I failed a test was to go home and bake a batch of brownies.

As time passes, I continue experimenting with many brownie recipes. But I am drawn to those that have nutritious vegetables as ingredients.

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and spray an 8" x 8" baking pan with nonstick spray or coat it lightly with vegetable oil.

  
  
  
  

• Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and set aside.
  
  
  
  
• Beat melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, egg white, and vanilla until smooth.
  
  
  
  
  
• Add this mixture along with zucchini to the flour mixture, and stir by hand until just moistened.

  
  
  

• Add chocolate chips and stir until just blended.
  
  
• Pour into prepared baking pan and bake for 30 - 35 minutes, or until edges are springy to touch but the center is still slightly soft.

• Cool chocolate chip zucchini brownies in baking pan on a wire rack.
