I have stumbled on the best brownie recipe I have ever made, so so moist. Its over in MFP recipes. It does use apple sauce and 300gms zucchini grated and no oil, or butter, but it does have a whack of sugar. It suits my zuchinni haters to a tee, they love it.

ah but have u tried the Adriano Zumbo packet mix in Woolies...man o man - I NEVER thought I'd say that a packet mix was the best brownie I had ver tasted, but hey - I just have (& I have eaten a few )

Recipe:

Prep Time: 10 minCook Time: 35 minReady in: 45 min
Yield: 16 brownies
Ingredients

2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
¾ cup coconut sugar or unrefined or granulated sugar
¼ cup (60 ml) unsweetened applesauce
1 cup (125 grams) whole spelt or whole wheat flour
½ cup (45 grams) Dutch-process cocoa powder
1½ teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups (about 300 – 320 grams) peeled and grated zucchini
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips + ½ cup mini chocolate chips to sprinkle on top (for dairy-free, use Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips)
Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176 degrees C) and line an 8"x8" pan with parchment paper or spray with baking spray.
In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, vanilla, coconut sugar, and apple sauce and let this sit for 5 minutes to let the coconut sugar dissolve.
In a separate medium bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder (sifted if lumpy!), baking soda and salt. Make sure there are no clumps before going on to the next step.
Add the dry mix to the wet, gently stir until combined. Be sure not to over mix!
Then fold in the zucchini and 1 cup chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the pan and even the surface with a spatula.
Sprinkle ½ cup mini chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 30 - 35 minutes (14 minutes for the half batch) or until a toothpick inserted in the middle doesn't come out gooey. It might still be sticky - just not have raw batter on it.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or up to one week in the refrigerator. I recommend storing them in the refrigerator right from the beginning due to their high moisture content.
