Author Notes
THESE BROWNIES HAVE KALE AND ZUCCHINI IN THEM.
I’m leading with the big reveal. No concealment or subterfuge.
‘Cause there’s no disguising that these brownies are dense and fudgy and chocolately, all of the components that make any type of brownie freaking delicious.
They have kale and zucchini, and I’m enraptured.
My one regret? I debated tossing in another full cup of shredded kale in the batter, but chickened out at the last minute. When I make these again (which, let’s face it, will likely be in the near future), that extra cup is joining the party. —Sondi
