@CR M It's a classic maple syrup, not sugar free.
Would date paste work too, I'm gonna try with the next batch.
@@rcampbellnc Sure, but I think you'll need to add it a little bit more than maple syrup, just to have these enough sweet.
@CR M I would think sugar free would work too, in my opinion. (-:
Nope make junk food
Made these today. My wife laughed when I said I was making brownies with zucchini and apple sauce. Needless to say an hour later it wasn’t brownies she was eating, it was her words
Thanks for trying these out!
Yessss well done hahah. I will make it today. Hopefully my kids will like it
@@alexiazamora7257 thats soo sweet ! Thank you so much Alexia for this comment. I really appreciate what you wrote. I made it, it was delicious but unfortunately I didn't put enough sweetness in it. I didn't measure the honey(i didn't have maple syrup). Next time I will do better hopefully. The kids didn't like it because of this..
Hey Alexia, why don't you have a go and make it for your mom/family?its very easy! (Dont make that mistake though and measure the sweetener well haha)
@@goodlifesince90 same here!!
lol
You're an absolute gem for including the measurements for the ingredients in grams as well. Saves me the headache of converting everything from cups!
Ugh, the one time I don't have any apples for applesauce! I'm going to try this with some mashed ripe banana. I bet it'll be delicious either way.
Thanks for your feedback!
I tried it out. Since my town is in lockdown and no grocery is open, I used carrot instead of zucchini. It still tasted good.
Hi Roxana! Thanks for your feedback! Love the idea of making these with the carrots!
Amazing! Did you use the same quantity of zucchini as in the video?
@@u13613to yes, same quantity, finely grated. I cooked it 2 min in the microwave with a cover to make it soft like a zucchini. Don't know if it was a unnecessary step
@@roxanaurrutia3631 Thank you! 🤠
thanks for sharing! Zucchini is expensive here
"grate (the zucchini) on the small holes so that nobody will complain" - wiser words were never spoken!! 😅
Just had to, kids complain about veggies all the time:)
0:50 you really can't mess up with this recipe
Me: sweats nervously
i am here in the comment section to say one thing, and one thing only: all brownies are 100 calorie brownies if you cut them small enough 😌
Ya but who does that lmao 😂
Right, but eating a 1" brownie isn't typically considered eating a brownie. It's more like eating a *bite* of a brownie.
I tried this recipe yesterday! I used banana instead of applesauce and grape molasses+some honey instead of maple syrup. It turned out SUPER DELICIOUS, i wasn't expecting it to be super delicious! I can't stop eating it lololol And the fact it is really low cal?? Thank you so much for the recipe, i love your channel and recipes! Have a wonderful day!
Hi there! Thanks so much for your amazing feedback! So glad you enjoyed the brownies.
I just made those for the second time. Absolutely delicious! This time I used 150g of applesauce and added 20g of plain rice protein and 50g erythritol instead of maple syrup. Also I made them in a muffin tray. They came out 15. Each one was only 59cal with 3,5g of protein. I truly believe they will turn out to be a staple at home!
Just made these in the last hour. Different, spongy and dense. Replaced the egg with chia seed and ground flax seed egg substitute. I used the grater as you suggested. Awesome recipe. Thanks again. I now have desserts because of your recipes.
This will be my first ever comment.
As someone who has been into fitness/weightlifting for over a decade, I've gotten into many of the "anabolic" recipe videos, and learned a few tricks.
I followed this recipe pretty closely and made some minor alterations to make it truly "guilt free" (if you're someone who counts calories and protein intake). Just posting this in hopes it helps one person try out this recipe, because it's really the first time I've been able to eat a brownie and feel GOOD about it.
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
4 egg whites (133g according to my specific brand)
1 tsp vanilla extract
280g shredded zucchini (finely shredded, as the video states)
60g (two scoops) chocolate whey protein (I use Isoflex)
125g blended rolled oats (I didn't have oat flour)
125g unsweetened apple sauce
60ml honey (approximately 86g if weighing on a food scale)
35g unsweetened hershey's cocoa powder
1/2 tsp splenda (not required, I don't even know if this made a difference at all)
I followed the instructions exactly as per video for prep/cooking.
Once complete, I divided into 9 squares, with approximately (depending on how accurate you are with ingredient measurements and division of the brownies) the following nutritional breakdown:
131 Cal
10.4g Protein
1.5g Fat
22.6g Carbs
3.4g Fiber
For someone on a calorie restrictive diet, trying to build muscle (aiming for 1g protein per pound of bodyweight), These brownies are guilt free, and also pretty delicious. They're no restaurant dessert brownie, but they're also 20% of the calorie content.
Great recipe even without my alterations. Looking forward to more videos.
Hi there Phil! Thanks so much for your amazing first comment! Love the recipe upgrade, I believe it will help a lot of people here. I will give it a try, that's for sure. This whole framework how you managed to boost protein and reduce carbs and total calories is so interesting, will try to apply on some of my other recipes as well.
Wow, thanks so much :)
Thank you! Just what I needed
Thanks!!!
dude I was wondering if someone will comment down with an anabolic recipes and while watching the video was also thinking what I could substitute to make it higher in protein and then decided to read the comment and boom you just made my life soo much easier hahahaha thanks but maybe I'll only use 1 scoop fricken protein powder so expensive (still a student no work sad 😢 )that's why I stop making those types of recipe and just decided to use this healthy recipes as a base. Thank you for sharing you anabolic version dude much love peace ✌️
Oh Sasha, I just made tonight this delicious chocolate Fudge. It is a hit and it will be a regular sweet. Thank you very much for sharing. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 😊
Hi there Monika! Thanks so much for your lovely feedback! I'm so happy you enjoyed these brownies. Sending hugs to Australia!
This is the healthiest brownie recipe I have seen! You always have the healthiest, perfectly developed recipes. I appreciate that you do not use oil or butter! (I'm developing a little more cake-like brownie using this as my basis. )
Thank you so much for mentioning a vegan option :)
Hi Sara! Sure, these are so easy to turn vegan. Thanks for checking it out!
I don't normally comment on youtube vids, but i just made these today, and these are by far the best healthy brownie recipe and even healthy dessert recipe ive ever made. It tastes like a real brownie, doesn't have some weird aftertaste or completely dry cake texture like other recipes, and the texture is perfect. Thank you so much for this! I have not seen anyone do a healthy cookie/cookie dough recipe that actually works, so if you can make one of those that would be awesome.
That's why I love his channel most of his recipes are delicious, healthy , affordable without compromising on flavor
I am so impressed, I just tried them today and they turned out amazing, my mom and I loved them!!👏👏
I've just made Zucchini Brownies. Cannot find a words to thank you about this recipe !!! Already send it to my friends to try it as well. Once again thank you so much :)

Gonna try this with home-grown zucchini. You are very creative with these recipes, good work.
Hi Belmin! Thanks so much for your support! Homegrown zucchini, you're right, that's the best way to go with this recipe. Hope you'll like the taste!
These videos are so good. So fast but everything you need to know and nice voice and presentation. Thank you Mr Cook Smarter!
I made this yesterday. They are delicious! I love your recipes. Keep going! 🤗
I’ve been eating these brownies for a few years. Still yum! When zuchs are in season, I freeze a few batches. Merci!
Hi Sasha, I'm so excited to try this zucchini brownie as I have coming into season. And I like the applesauce idea. Such a great dessert or I could even have this for breakfast with coffee. So good! Thank you.
Hi Sheila! Thanks so much for your feedback! I agree, these brownies make such a great healthy option for breakfast. Take care!

Thanks so much for your feedback Gregory!
Thanks for this recipe! I just made these today, and I did the flax-egg and I shredded the zucchini unpeeled. Very good! Glad for this recipe because it's a good replacement for things much worse for my health. Definitely making these again and will try to keep these around as they are very satisfying.
Hi Robert! That's great, thanks for giving it a try with these zucchini brownies, I appreciate your feedback!
I made these today and I loved them! They were moist, soft, and chocolatey, and adding a bit of vanilla ice cream on top made the brownies just sweet enough for my liking. Thank you so much! :)

All the effort he put into these videos, amazing.
Hi Ozge! Thanks for your support!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS RECIPE ✨ I really love your channel!! (Am an oat fan here too 🙌) I have made this zucchini brownies twice the past two weeks and really loving it, and my favorite way of enjoying it is by topping it with jam or peanut butter~ This definitely became my instant favorite for a yummy, guilt-free treat or breakfast
Thank you for the recipe :) My son will love these! Gonna make it in the morning.
Hello, hello! You're very welcome! Hope you'll enjoy healthier zucchini brownies guys! These are just perfect for kids! Let me know did you like the recipe. By the way, I'm making these again, but with some protein powder inside.
Made this today, it was amazing. Thanks so much.
Hi Aziza! Thanks so much for trying it out and sending over your feedback!
About to watch the video! Looks amazing and it just started
Thanks for your comments!

Hi Sarah! Thanks so much for your lovely feedback!
Zucchini has become my best friend in the kitchen, it’s amazing. Love this recipe also using the ground oats! I’m going make these right now! Thanks for sharing!!🤗
Hi there! Thanks so much for checking it out! Hope this recipe will work for you!
I know right, I’ve grown some ( that’s what lockdown does to you) and my husband said “ we don’t even eat them” little does he know I literally hide them in everything. When you have a fussy 4 year old you discover the best veg for going undiscovered 😂😂😂
@@rebeccaparker9703 Same thing here, we grow more veggies than ever this year, still waiting for some zucchini:)
Another recipe I am going to try soon thanks Sasha!
Thanks so much Kathy! Hope you'll like these zucchini brownies as much as I did. Have a beautiful day!
This is perfect, all my zucchini are ready for picking at the same time, so I need a few ideas to get them used up!!!
Hi Rebecca! Thanks for checking it out! Yeah, when it comes to zucchini season we have to think and act quickly, every season I come up with couple of new recipes.
Thank you, I'm going to try this! Edit: just made these, put a chocolate ganache on top, delicious!! Then I used the same batter, but replaced the sweet and cacao with grated onion and cheese, you got me started now, this is great!
Wow, that's what I call being creative in the kitchen, well done! Absolutely love the idea of making these brownies the savory way, have to try this as soon as possible. And yes, you miss it with the chocolate ganache! Thanks a lot for your feedback!
This is truly amazing and very inspiring for my own channel! Great editing and clear and concise. Captivating from start to end and improving video by video. I've go some courgettes and definitely will be making this. Thank You
Hi there James! Thanks so much for such amazing feedback, I appreciate all the support! Keep it up with your channel, it's a great start!
I definitely love this and love your channel every video more and more ❤ stay healthy stay happy what better than that 🙌🙏
Hi Laura! Thanks so much for your lovely feedback! I'm so happy you find my recipes interesting. Stay healthy, stay happy!
I baked these yesterday and honestly you cannot taste, or even tell the Courgette (Zucchini) is there! Really simple and easy recipe, and I enjoyed baking them. I did add one cube of melted milk chocolate per brownie, to decorate the top of it for a little bit more sweetness (I have a very sweet tooth). Thank you so much for this recipe :)
Hi there! Thanks for trying these out, I appreciate your feedback! Exactly, you can't taste the zucchini at all, I'm going to make some with pumpkin too.
oh my!! I need to make these! I love brownies and zucchini bread always taste so good! thank you for sharing!
Hi! Thanks for checking it out! Exactly, these are like brownies and zucchini bread in one!
Looks good! Always a fan of making desserts healthier.
Thanks for watching!
This is my favourite zucchini brownie recipe, Healthy , inexpensive ingredients that do not compromise on flavour❤
Another great recipe! I love brownies. I will make this
Hi Priscilla! Thanks for checking it out! Hope you'll like these healthier brownies!

Holy smokes are these things good and the family thinks so too! 10/10 would highly recommend
Wow, this recipe looks incredible!
Thanks for watching!
This looks like a really good recipe. I never knew about the flax seed before being able to be used as an egg. May try it. This is something I can keep in the freezer, too for my husbands lunches. Thanks so much.
you can use chia seeds too!
Hi there! Thanks for checking it out! Hope you'll give it a try, and yes, these freeze really well. Have a great day! Take care!
Oh wow, a must try. I was excited that you could make them with flax seeds as well. Thank you!
Hi Suzzane! So glad you like the recipe, hope you'll give it a try! Thanks for checking in!
@@HowToCookSmarter I just made them....used carob powder, but I must tell you they are really good! Thank you!
@@bookmouse2719 Carob powder, what an idea! We have it here, but use just in traditional recipes, which is quite rarely. Thanks for your feedback!
Thank you soo much!!! The outcome is soo good!!!!!
Hi! Thanks so much for your feedback!
Running to the grocery stores., I love your editing on your videos
Hi there! Thanks for the feedback!
Can't wait to make these, thank you
Hi Darla! Thanks for checking it out! Hope you'll like these brownies!
I made these today and substituted cooke squash for the zucchini and added a bit more sweetener than recommended and they turned out really well. I added melted dark chocolate on top too.
That's great! Love all the changes! Thanks for sending your feedback!
Another classic recipe! I’m going to try this tomorrow and resist eating too many
Hi Wincey! Thanks for checking it out! Let me know did you like these brownies.
They are lovely really trying not to over indulge. I love them and in danger of making them often
@@qwincebd That's great! I think it's better to indulge these than something else, really love them out of the fridge as summer dessert. Thanks for trying it out! Enjoy your weekend!
Thank you for the recipe of brownies🙂. I baked it today. The taste is very chocolaty, moderately sweet, texture is nice and fudgy
Hi Anna! Thanks so much for your feedback! So glad you enjoyed the brownies!
Great recipe, well done!
Thanks for checking it out!
Making this tonight! Thanks 😊
Hi! Hope these turned out delicious for you.
I used mashed banana instead of apple sauce. Also added on crushed chocolate almonds with a a little bit of kosher salt....DIVINE. Definitely not a typical brownie flavor, much darker and not as sweet, but it’s not sickening after you eat them like regular ones. Definitely will make more and might try sweet potato instead of zucchini too 🤔😄
Hi Jessie! Thanks so much for your amazing feedback! Exactly, these are not too sweet, but still so delicious! Sweet potato brownies, sure, I'll give it a try too!
Very nice. I tried lentil brownie recipe, definitely try these too. Thank u.
Hi there! Thanks for your feedback! Lentil brownie, WOW, just have to try that.
I tried this recipe and it is amazing and the zucchini really worked
Thanks for trying these out!
This is my favorite vegetable 🤤 and now brownies... Thanks alot
Thanks for checking it out!
Yum thank you
Sr i just wanted to say thank you for the lovely recipe god bless your hands im in love with all of them ❤ 💕 from Canada 🇨🇦
Hi Maria! Thanks so much for sending over your feedback! Sending back love to Canada!
I made a sweet potatoe brownie today which was amazing. But I will be trying this one next!!! Thanks for Sharing
Hi Lucelia! Sweet potato brownie, so love the idea, never had one before! Hope you'll like the zucchini brownie as well. Thanks for watching!
Sounds intersting, i gonna try it this recipe
Thanks for watching! Hope you'll like these!
Waiting patiently for my zucchini to be ready to harvest. I will definitely be making this! I think oat flour makes the best brownies anyway. I can't wait to try the zucchini twist!
Hi there! Having these with homegrown zucchini, I mean you just can't make it better. We don't have much in our garden, just a bad season for zucchini here, or bad seeds we got (who knows). Hope you'll like the recipe!
Thank you so much! Ohhh, I am making these tomorrow and your delicious cheddar cheese biscuits. I have all the ingredients. The one thing I truly love about your recipes is that the ingredients are so simple and nutritious at the same time and that you can substitute them with other simple ingredients and the recipes still come out tasting delicious. Plus the ingredients are very economical and easy to find.
Hi there! Thanks so much for your amazing feedback! I'm so happy my recipes work for you. Let me know how you liked these.
Hi! This is the third recipe of yours I've made (I just found your channel last week, when searching for recipes with oat flour). I made these just three hours ago, and they have turned out very nice! I love the texture. I baked them a bit longer so they turned out cake-y (which we like), after adding some walnuts to the batter. They're not overly sweet which I love, and they're definitely going to be eaten for breakfast tomorrow too! Thank you for your recipes. I don't eat refined sugar (I mainly use honey), so your recipes are amazing for me!
P.S. I plan to try your lemon bars next :) I can't wait!
Ooohhh, I should have added walnuts too!
Hi there Samantha! Thanks so much for your amazing feedback! So glad you find my recipes helpful! Take care!
OMG! I'm going to try these, I have a sweet tooth so anything sweet I love! My late mother used to make sweets using vegetables as child and ask us to guess this we could never believe she made them from vegetables back then...this was before zucchini or courgette as we call it in some parts of world) was popular. Thank you! P.S I will post back once I make it! Hope your gram qty's are correct as I dont use cups though do have them. Thanks
Hi there! Thanks a lot for your kind comment! Yes, baking sweet using vegetables is just fenomenal thing to do, it adds nutrition without knowing it's there, going to try out these with pumpkin and sweet potato too. Hope this recipe will work for you. Happy baking!
Nice healthy brownie recipe looks yummy
Thanks so much Afton!
thank you very much for this recipe it's realy nutritive
Hi Mina! Thanks so much for checking it out!
Thank you for such great recipe! I've just made them with my 4 year old daughter. We didn't have any apple sauce so added one big banana instead, we also added half cup of chocolate chips. They are delicious! My daughter keeps asking for more 🙂
Hi Dragana! Thanks so much for your lovely feedback! Baking brownies with your daughter, precious moments, so glad she enjoyed these! Love all the changes you did. Enjoy your weekend!
Zucchini brownies?wow..it's something new to me for sure🙂
I'm definitely gona try this..it looks yummy💜
Hi there Alekhya! That would be great, let me know how you like these. Have a great day!
Great recipe and video! :)
Thanks a lot Belle!
I love this! Zucchini carrots in anything is yumola! Cinnamon!!
Hi Monica! Thanks so much for watching!
You're the BEST! What else to say!
I made these today, added a handful of milk chocolate chips and 50 grams of caster sugar in the batter to make it appealing for my kids. Everyone loved it! Really gooey, moist and chocolatey. Neither can you taste the zucchini nor tell that the recipe is made with oats! Winner all the way. Thank you so much for this recipe!!! 💖
Hi! Thanks so much for your feedback! Great move to make the kids enjoy the recipe too, but I think you'll be fine with just adding the chocolate chips.
Brilliant!!
I love your recipes ,they are so Good and healthy 🥰🥰
