Jump to Recipe
This time of year zucchinis aka courgette are abundant in all shapes and sizes, usually dark or light green but with hybrids in deep yellow or orange. The Aspen farmer’s market offers everything from little zucchinis to huge amazing ones that could feed a crowd. Take a look at the HUGE dark green one below, we put our business card on it to show the size. Needless to say we have been challenged to create recipes using this beautiful summer squash. We challenge you to try these brownies on your children, you might want to omit the fact that they contain zucchini until after they’ve savored the first bite. They are also the perfect gluten free treat, containing no refined sugar.
