Zucchini brownies

The perfect recipe for summer days – zucchini brownies. A healthier and just as tasty version of the iconic cake. It’s a great way to sneak in an extra portion of veggies for your kids. The flavor and texture of zucchini is unnoticeable here. Instead its addition makes the cake super moist and fudgy. Intense chocolate flavor is provided by 300g of chocolate!
