Healthy Eating for Toddlers

ZANY ZUCCHINI BROWNIES

Doesn't this recipe sound......zany??? It is so delicious, you wouldn't even believe that you were eating Zucchini! This is a perfect desert dish to make, especially if your toddlers have a problem eating their veggies (which mine don't). We made these brownies for the first time today, and we had so much fun! Charlotte received an adorable baking kit from my dear dear friend Jennifer for Christmas and we have been drooling over all the recipes it came with, and this was one of them. I highly recommend you try these.
