One of my favorite things about this channel is how accessible it's stayed over the years, I feel like a lot of other popular home cooking youtubers have become unnecessarily chef-y and a bit pretentious but your videos are always so relatable and down to earth.

A good thing to do with a large zucchini is to slice it in half, scoop out the seeds, and stuff it with Italian sausage, bread crumbs, cheese, and some other seasonings, and then bake it at 350° until soft and browned on top. 😋

I"ve been freezing zucc for winter, made bread, made cookies, made zucchini lime sherbert, will eat zucchini with salmon in an hour, SO MUCH ZUCCINI

I've heard of using zucchini to replace the shortening in cakes before, especially chocolate cakes. Made a chocolate mint cake that way for my parent's anniversary a few years back. They loved it. No one noticed the zucchini.

I appreciate how emmy puts her sponsors at the beginning or near the beginning of her video because its both follows the FCC guidelines, and also lets you watch the rest of the video uninterrupted

I was a Director of a day care center with 120 kids when I had a huge crop of zucchini from my home garden. Luckily I had a fantastic cook who made tons of zucchini bread with cinnamon spices and a chocolate zucchini cake that the kids loved! She used so much zucchini in them that they actually legally counted as a serving of vegetable! She also made a summer vegetable side, basically using whatever I brought in, with zucchini summer squash tomatoes carrots etc.

I like to think the zucchini's are actually normal sized and Emmy is just tiny sized.

I love watching your side camera come into focus. Every time I think to myself, "Will this be the time it doesn't focus?" but it always does.

The tip about different kinds of cocoa powder was so interesting! I had no idea that it would affect the leavening 🤯 learn something new every day I guess!

Her voice is so calming I love her videos but everytime I watch them at night makes me so sleepy not because she's boring but because her voice is so calming and relaxing it's weird but ill always love her videos super humble 💗

I've heard of making a mock apple pie with zucchini as well. Maybe you could try that next!!!!!!

I’ve been making zucchini brownies for years. You can also make them into cupcakes. Zucchini bread is also yummy. I freeze the grated zucchini in two cup pouches.

What I love about zucchini is that it grows so quickly and become so big! One day of rain and you get GIANT zucchini, great for zucchini bread. Excited to try this brownie recipe!

‘You can make brownies!’ - she says while holding up enough zucchini to make 10 batches of brownies 🤣 I mean, I may actually do that though

My Mom always made a chocolate zucchini cake/loaf. Back in the 80’s. So moist.

We made zucchini bread and muffins last weekend. Delicious

My dog passed away last night, I really needed this right now

I was literally thinking of making zuchini brownies all week and i see emmy posted this? Its a sign. Time for me to get baking

*that burp* 😆 These brownies look delish! I love zucchini, so versatile. My grandmother used to make the best zucchini bread. Thanks for sharing Emmy 🌸🍃

I make this all the time, the zucc is actually friggin undetectable n makes everyone wonder how moist & decadent it so please try it guys :) *yellow squash is a perfect sub n it will yield identical results!

With the brownies, you get 2 servings of vegetables. Zucchini, and cocoa powder is from the cocoa bean, and beans are a vegetable, so... 😁 And grain from the flour for carbs, and egg is the protein, so IMO, each serving (maybe a quarter of the pan? 😁) would be a balanced meal, wouldn't it? 😆

me and my grandma always make chocolate zucchini cake with zucchini’s from her garden in the summer.

It’s funny how you made this channel 6 days before I was born and I have watched all your videos since! ❤️❤️

That zucchini brings back fond memories of my grandpa and the first time I cooked. He taught me to season flour, how to make an egg bath, and we cut that zucchini into slices and battered it in egg and flower and fried it in oil and repeated until it was all cooked. Still make it on occasion as it is so tasty.

And now that my kids have moved out my husband and I can make brownies with nuts in it again LOL in my opinion it is so much better with a walnut let’s say or a Pecan if you’re going to add a caramel drizzle, oh my I want them now.

Thank you for that little aside about the different types of cocoa powder! I've seen both mentioned in recipes before, and I never had any idea about the difference.

One of my favourite ways to use up excess zucchini (especially ones that have gotten huge like these) is in...pretty much any dessert recipe that calls for chopped apples, I guess? I've made "apple" pie, crisp & cobbler with them! If you want it to REALLY be stealth, peel & seed the squash first! I usually toss the sliced/cubed squash with some cinnamon & sugar & a bit of lemon juice (like, with whatever is called for in the recipe you're using), and sometimes I add a splash of apple juice if I happen to have some, and let it marinate for a bit before assembling the dish. The BEST part though, is making it with kids, who are astonished that it tastes just like apple pie, and THEN helping them 'trick' their parents with some, hahaha. The look on a 5 year old's face when he or she finally can't hold the secret in anymore and blurts out "IT'S ZUCCHINI! THERE ISN'T EVEN ANY APPLES IN AT ALL!" is *priceless*! 😂

She has such a pleasant voice...it's like a lullaby for me

I was just looking up recipes to use up my zucchini/yellow squash and then here comes Emmy. Funny, helpful, adorable AND psychic?

You gotta try the fake apple pie that's actually made with zucchini!!

zucchinis are the queen of versatility

I've made something like this but with avocado and it was amazing! Some of the best brownies I've ever made and you can only taste the avocado if you're looking for it.

I use CC when I watch YT. Tonight's video was sponsored by: "HELLA FRESH!"😲

Its crazy how she turns the most random things into desserts!! I love her😂❤

Yikes, you could fend off a mugger with those zukes! Good harvest!

So searching through YT for even more different zucchini recipes, I see you pop up and it says zero seconds! Fudge Brownies made from Zucchini? I am all in. I have a food processor and will be pulling it out. I have so much zucchini, I am tired of the breads, pancakes, casseroles...but I will never tire of brownies!!! Thanks...

I love to make zucchini pancakes using a recipe from Ina Garten/Barefoot Contessa. It's basically a savory side dish that's similar to potato pancakes, just using zucchini instead. They're delicious!

I love how I feel like I'm always learning something new here. I find myself saying, "huh", quite often when I watch this channel. ☺️

Is that a zucchini or are you happy to see me? 🤣

Was not expecting to wake up and learn the difference between natural and dutch processed cocoa powder and when to use each today...Emmy is a constant delight!

I really hate commenting with warnings, but if your zucchini are this big, especially with the US heat waves, taste a little bit before you do anything with it. If it the taste is bitter, they are poisonous because of their curcubitacine (?) levels. That poison can be lethal. The poison has been mostly bred out of industrially grown zucchini, but it can sometimes occur in homegrown zucchini, e.g. because of cross-breeding or heatwave growth spurts. The brownies look so amazing and I hugely enjoyed the video! I just want you to take care. ❤❤❤

Lol fine Emmy I’ll eat my vegetables! Jeez!!!

Subtitles at 6:23 as Emmy pours the mixture into the pan: "[Applause]" Oh my word, literally SAME, haha. My taste buds are absolutely applauding the looks of that batter.

Those zucchini are fabulous! When my husband and I started growing our eggplant-sized zucchini we found a recipe for zucchini fritters that we make essentially as a substitute to chicken or eggplant parm and pair it with pasta and garlic bread. It's delicious and uses a ton of shredded zucchini. The juice you squeeze out makes the compost happy too! You should try making zucchini fritters. I think you'd enjoy them.

Emmy, I made carrot cake muffins with shredded zucchini. The shreds disappeared in the baked muffins. I also squeezed the water out of the zucchini before I put it in the batter. They were moist and very good. You could not even tell the zucchini was in there, at all.

One of my summer favorites is chocolate chip zucchini bread!

Yeah when we would do a garden those suckers would grow and multiple like crazy! We made lots of zucchini bread,muffins and fried tons too. We'd also shred it and then freeze it so we could make bread with it in the winter. Even still we'd usually have to give a bunch away because there was just so much. But it's always nice to get to share with others. Never heard of using it in brownies though!

You describing the difference in cocoa powder using science reminds me of Alton Brown. He explained the differences as well. You're the female Alton Brown. Or a version of Ms. Frizzle. 😉 Yes, it's healthy now. The zucchini cancels out the calories and fat in the brownies. 😉😄

I have a zucchini in my fridge… I hope that my brownies will turn out delicious 👩🏻‍🍳

Definitely have done this and loved it- I made zucchini pineapple before- that was pretty fun!!!!

Yes! One of my favoutires "cheating" recepies!😋😈 The faces of my friends when I tell them what's inside those chocolate gooey goodness!😂

If we had overgrown courgettes, we treated them like marrows. Usually, we stuffed them but I remember, years ago, I used one to help my apple go further when making apple sauce. Sshh. The family still don't know.

If you run out of ways to use zucchini, an old fashioned English recipe (probably 'hard times') is marrow and ginger jam where a marrow was/is a variety of summer squash. I have used overgrown zucchini to make it. The zucchini, which has hardly any taste, is flavoured by the ginger and it's delicious. I also made a small batch using rose scented geranium leaves, beautiful!

My zucchini brownie recipe is very different, and it is a family favorite, so I am sharing. Zucchini Brownies 1/2 cup soft butter 1/2 cup cooking oil 1 3/4 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 cup sour milk 2 1/2 cups flour 4 Tbsp cocoa powder 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp ground cloves 1/2 tsp salt 2 cups finely chopped zucchini (not blended!) 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (semi sweet is what I use.) 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts Cream together butter and sugar, add eggs, vanilla, and sour milk. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and spices. Stir. Fold in zucchini pieces. Pour into a greased and floured 9x13x2 pan. Sprinkle tops with nuts and chocolate chips. Bake in preheated 325° oven for 45 minutes. These are more cakey, but very moist and almost a spice cake.

Not having the best day, but here comes Emmy to brighten me up right on cue ☺️

Hi Emmy! When I looked at the printed recipe on your web site, the butter is missing from it - good thing I paid attention to your video! I made a few swaps with mine - didn’ t have espresso power, so I used a T. of Kahlua (yes!), and added a 1/2 c. or so of walnuts, plus another couple T. of flour. The flour made the batter a tiny bit thicker, and the brownies were still very moist. Thanks for sharing your recipe, and as always, I really enjoy your videos!

I have 8 zucchini plants, I have way too much in my house so I'm glad you posted this. I've been making it into zucchini bread but there's only so much of that you can eat lol definetly going to try this recipe!

That fun fact about type of cocoa powder was very interesting! I feel like I should remember it for future use

One of our families favorites is zucchini loaf it's super good. Also chocolate beet cake is awesome and are all great ways to use extra veggies from the garden

Watching Emmy brings me comfort always.

I love fried squash and zucchini. Flour, egg, breadcrumb, fry, eat. Such yum!

I just made these! I doubled it with no issues. The texture is interesting but it’s still really good. 😄

I tried this recipe yesterday. As you mentioned at 9:07 it does taste a bit cake like. I personally would consider this recipe to be more like a cake than a brownie. With that being said it is absolutely delicious! I would definitely make it again and it's a great way to use up extra zucchini. It's definately better tasting than a lot of recipes I've tried and definitely better than chocolate box mix. This will be my go to recipe for the summer when I'm swimming in zucchini. Thanks Emmy!

Ive always loved zucchini bread but now I have got to try this zucchini brownie recipe

These look super yummy!

My family has a garden and we make zucchini fries, zucchini noodles for pretty much all pasta stuff, and cut them in zucchini disks and fry them, lots of things to do with it and all super yummy!

thorughly enjoyed the mini food science lesson on dutch vs. natural cocoa powder❤️

I RAN to your comments as soon as I saw a video on Facebook of something called Ghewar! I thought of you immediately, this is so up your alley! Definitely worth looking into! Again it’s Ghewar! Looks to be an India sweet!

Zucchini makes a really great parmesian. It's not as tender as eggplant but it's also doesn't require all the prep that eggplant does. It's pretty much just good to go.

I can NOT wait to try this recipe! So cool Emmy.

You dont know how much I've been hoping for this recipe!!

My family has been making my aunt's chocolate zucchini cake recipe for as long as I can remember, over 30 years. It has to happen at least once a year. I plant 4 plants and it's just my daughter and I, I process them and freeze shreds and slices. Will definitely try these!

I'm curious,are you guys a frosting or no frosting when it comes to brownies? Growing up we never did frosting and I didn't even know people did til I was probably a teenager. I personally prefer no frosting as the brownie is rich and moist all on it's own I don't think it needs anything added to it. But I know it's an essential for some people.

Emmy’s videos always make me happy

Yummy! I love zucchini relish/chow chow. The joke is, don't answer the door because it's zucchini season! All it takes is one good plant.

My husband planted three zucchini plants so we have been making a ton of zucchini baked goods. I also shred and dry it in my dehydrator to add to soups and sauces later in the winter.

When she cuts the huge zucchini and make the "haa" sound at 2:58. LOL This is awesome! I can make turn this receipe into a keto version brownie.

This is so cool! My grandma always makes an apple pie.. but no apples just zucchini and it’s fantastic!

I’ve seen this thumbnail before, but in person and the woman was holding a mini zucchini. It didn’t break my heart. She still had a smile.

Her voice is so soothing 🥰

I love zucchini bread so the idea of zucchini brownies sounds fantastic!

I tried it today and i highly recommend it,its soooo fudgy and moist,thank you so much

I saw that recipe too! It’s in my list to make with my niece. It will blow her mind!

Zucchini makes an amazing lemon drizzle cake too. My lovely neighbour is always baking for us and she made us one, I think she grates the zucchini, though 🤔. The brownies look delicious 😋. If you want to make it even healthier, store them on a high shelf - it's a well known fact that calories are frightened of heights and will jump out of any food left on a high shelf. 😉 😄

You're just Great, and I love the Little Emmy Illustration, so Cute!

I was excited when you said you were going to use zucchini and make brownies. Yum

Emmy, I absolutely adore how you always include the chemistry of baking in your videos. 💕 Years ago; before I went to culinary school (I’m a pastry chef), I entered a baking contest at a local fair. There were several categories, but the one I most wanted to enter and win was an original recipe bake off. I (and all the other potential contestants) had to submit an original recipe I’d developed on my own. Then I had to take a sample of the baked good to the 4H committee a week before the contest. (All of the agricultural contests were run by the local 4H). If you were accepted, the committee would decide in which category your baked good belonged and notify the accepted recipients. I won the blue ribbon for my category! Yes this is relevant to your video...😂🤣 I developed a chocolate cake recipe that revolved around using molecular gastronomy, which at the time was a brand new concept, yep I’m that old. 😆 Anyway, while developing my recipe I came to the conclusion that I absolutely could not use Dutch processed cocoa powder. It took me FOUR sunken in the middle and half baked cakes to finally realize my mistake. Trial and error since I wasn’t lucky enough to have an “Emmy” at my fingertips back in the day. ✌🏻😆😊

I would totally try this recipe.

it has vegetables, it has salt, it has "dressing" on top. this is a salad and and anyone who says the opposite is just jealous that i can eat salad and you not

Chocolate Zucchini bread is INCREDIBLE!

Thanks for sharing... surprised at the texture. I'll have to try these. Have a blessed weekend.

Every time Emmy say itadakimasu I ALWAYS remember this girl asking in the comments "what etaraky ball mean??" LOL

Never tried Zucchini brownies but I have made Fudgy Beet Brownies and they are actually delightful. The beets have a sweet and earthy flavor that pairs very nicely with dark chocolate.

The cocoa powder tip is GOLD

My grandma has always made zucchini bread with her zucchinis and its always so good, she replaces the oil in the recipe with applesauce and the end result is so good and kind of cakey with a nice sweet crust

Gotta try this. My momma always made zucchini jelly and bread when I was growing up and it was delicious

Thank you so much for the explaination of the differences of cocoa powders. I don't even know if we can get natural cocoa powder here. Really cool to learn though. Thank you

Emmy the chocolate makes it healthy and the zucchini makes it delicious. Thank you. I like zucchini bread, super simple.

They way these looked I am imagining the texture and taste to be like the Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies. Haven't had them in years but now I suddenly want some.

Really appreciate the tip on the coco powder and ph balance! ♡ love from Canada
