Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened apple sauce1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder1 cup granulated sugar (or Splenda, if you like)2 cups whole-wheat flour (or white, of course)1.5 tsp vanilla1 pinch of saltA bit of freshly-ground pepper - maybe a tbsp1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
Prep:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Lightly grease a 9x13 pan (I use olive oil-flavored Pam)
Peel zucchinis (lightly - I like to leave some green for nutrition, but remove the tough stuff) and shred.
Cook:
Whisk together flour and sugar.
Add salt and cocoa, mixing very well and fluffing.
In a separate bowl, mix together applesauce, vanilla, and 1/2 of the zucchini.
Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ones, stirring well.
Add the remaining zucchini and, if your mixture looks dry-ish, add olive oil.
Mix very well.
Add pepper, saving some for the top.
Spread mixture evenly into the pan. Sprinkle the remaining pepper on top.
Cook 25-30 minutes, let cool
No need for frosting, but do have some Silk nearby to wash them down. Try them frozen, too!
