Hello lovelies, do you also have so much zucchini in the garden and are you still looking for good recipes? Here is one for you: zucchini blondies with chocolate. I’m very happy that my zucchini grew so well in the raised bed this year. We were already able to harvest some. I don’t only like them savory processed but also sweet. And this is when these delicious blondies come into play. By the way, blondies are the opposite of brownies, as the name might already suggest. Blondies are missing cocoa and that’s why they are light.

Luckily nothing else is missing with the zucchini blondies with chocolate. They are super delicious, really juicy and of course contain some tasty chocolate. Nobody will notice that there are vegetables inside.

The blondies turned out really "fudgy", which is just the way they should be. If you don’t like it fudgy, leave them in the oven a little longer. By the way, I used a yellow zucchini for the recipe, but of course it works exactly the same with a green - except then maybe someone has questions about the ingredients. In case of using a yellow zucchini, it’s even less noticeable that vegetables are hidden in the dough.

Another great way to secretly make kids or other veggie disdainers eat some healthy veggies. Who could possibly say no to these delicious cuts? I already have another cake recipe with zucchini here on the blog. Have you already tried it?

Of course, there are already some savory recipes on the blog. We very much like the stuffed zucchini with lentils and orzo or the soba noodle salad, where I have replaced part of the pasta with zoodles (zucchini noodles).
