Sneaky Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bars

Printable Recipe
16-24 bars, depending on how you cut it

2 cups zucchini, grated
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 t. salt
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet)

Cream butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla together. Add the dry ingredients. Add the zucchini and chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350.

Holly's Note:
I had a zucchini on hand and needed to use it, so when I saw the original recipe at Divine Domesticity, I knew I had to try it. I peeled the zucchini, mostly so I could disguise it. I knew if my kids saw anything green in chocolate chip bars, they wouldn't eat it. The zucchini was really wet, so I added a bit more flour to the mix.

The original recipe said to refrigerate them. We didn't make it that far! My youngest sniffed them (he does that to everything) and wouldn't touch them. My oldest and his best friend thought they were terrific. I did too!
