Vegan Zucchini Brownies Recipe

Yes, these chocolatey, cake-like brownies are vegan, but the non-vegans in your life will never know unless you spill the beans.  In place of the 3-plus eggs found in most traditional brownies, this recipes uses a winning combination of unsweetened applesauce and silken tofu.

And wait…what?  There’s zucchini in there?? No way! (Way.)
