How to Make Cinnamon Zucchini Brownies

  3. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time. Then, add the dry ingredients and the grated zucchini (2 cups) in alternating additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
