Pro Tip
Using a 9×13 metal pan vs. a glass pan will give you those delicious, crispy edges on your brownies. Metal pans are better conductors of heat which may cause your brownies to have a slightly shorter baking time than a glass pan. If you only have a glass pan, watch and test your brownies with a toothpick as the bake time may vary.
Pro Tip
Check your oven temperature with an inexpensive oven thermometer since most ovens aren’t truly fully preheated even when they indicate they are.
Variations
No matter what you choose to mix into your zucchini brownies, we suggest using half a cup of your add-in of choice. Some of our favorites are:
- Chopped nuts – pecans, walnuts, or any nut of your choice
- Chocolate chunks – for a little more melty chocolate goodness in each bite
- Peanut butter or cream cheese – swirled into the batter after it has been added to the pan
- Coconut flakes – add a tropical sweetness and a more chewy texture
- Mint chocolate candies – such as Andes, chopped
- Sea salt – a couple of pinches, sprinkled on top
