Original recipe makes 24
1 cupwhole wheat pastry flour
1 cupall purpose flour
1 1/2 tspbaking soda
0.5 tspSalt
1/3 cupcocoa powder
1/4 cupSugar
1/4 cupsugar substitute
1 tspcinnamon
1 largezucchini; grated (around 8oz)
1 cupcarrots; pureed
1/2 cupunsweetened applesauce
1 tspWater
2 tspvanilla extract
1/2 cupchocolate chips of your choice
1 egg; optional, if you want a less cake-like brownie

Zucchini Carrot Brownies Preparation

Using cooking spray, grease a 13x9 baking dish and preheat the oven to 350.

Mix the dry ingredients (flour through cinnamon) in a large bowl and reserve about 2 Tbsp to mix with the chocolate chips. In a medium bowl, combine the zucchini through the vanilla extract (optional egg) and gently mix until combined. Pour the wet into the dry and mix together.

Add the chocolate chip mixture in at the last moment to prevent them sinking to the bottom. Spread the mixture evenly into the baking dish and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes (until a knife comes out clean).

Let cool and cut into 24 squares and enjoy. Each brownie contains around 68 calories.

    If you prefer a more fudge-like brownie, I suppose you could add an egg in there. Play around with flavor combinations, you could always add mashed bananas instead of the carrot or applesauce. Either way, they all provide a sweetening substitute so you don't have to add so much sugar. [I posted this recipe.]
