Notes

Recipe Tips:
To Store: It’s best to store these Zucchini Brownies in the refrigerator in an airtight container since they contain a lot of moisture. Store for up to one week. Eat straight from the fridge or allow the brownies to sit out for a few minutes. 
To Freeze: Store in an airtight container and if you need to layer the brownies place a piece of parchment paper in between each layer. Store for up to 3 months. To thaw, let the brownies thaw in the refrigerator or bring them to room temperature until defrosted.
