Substitute for Nuts

If your family loves the crunch of nuts in brownies and chocolate chip cookies, but someone is allergic to them, add granola or crisp rice cereal in the same amounts as the nuts called for in your recipes. But, always check the granola or cereal packages for nut allergy alerts to be certain.

Made as is. They were a big hit! Picky kids didn't even notice the zucchini.

Egg or no egg, I just finished baking and frosting these and they are very yummy! Really a rather cake-like brownie. I added some mini chocolate chips to mine.
