<div><p>When a friend of mine first mentioned zucchini brownies to me, I was baffled. My first thought was "why on earth should a vegetable like zucchini be used in anything other than zucchini bread?" </p><p>Brownies are glorious all on their own so why add a vegetable? Well, after I tried those brownies, my taste buds converted and I am now officially a fan! No seriously, they tasted unexpectedly amazing and there was no way of telling that a vegetable had been added to the mix.</p><p>Similar to using carrots in muffins and such, zucchini can be a fantastic addition to lots of desserts. It is also a sneaky yet creative way to get picky eaters in your family to eat their veggies. Adding zucchini to a recipe is a great way to add moisture without sacrificing taste.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/zucchini-bread-method-1.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/zucchini-bread-method-1_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Simply Recipes</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p>If you're curious about what you can bake using zucchinis, besides brownies and classic zucchini bread, below are some recipes for inspiration.</p><h2>1.
