A fast-to-fix peanut butter and chocolate frosting tops these moist brownies that are a sweet way to use up your green garden squash. “We really like the cake-like texture of these brownies,” writes Allyson Wilkins of Amherst, New Hampshire.

SERVINGS: 15-18

CATEGORY: Dessert

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 35 min. + cooling

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup baking cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • FROSTING:
  • 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in yogurt and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Fold in zucchini.
    Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

    I found these kind of bland. Needs more chocolate! If I were to make them again, I'd throw the remaining 1 1/3 cups of chocolate chips into the batter.
