Zucchini Brownies - already half eaten!!

Yesterday I tried a new recipe for zucchini brownies.  I posted last month about the need to find uses for all the zucchini our garden is producing and so I did a recipe post for bread. See link here,
zucchini bread.

I've continued to use in dishes for dinners, soups, my home made dog food and have frozen some for use later.  I came across this recipe in Simply in Season cookbook and decided I needed to try it.  In the past my son would have turned up his nose at the very idea of zucchini in something like this, but after having the bread he is a convert of creative uses for zucchini.

Can be found at Amazon

Here is the recipe:

3/4 cup whole wheat flour
