Storage & Recipe Notes..
Best stored in a covered container in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can also freeze them in an airtight freezer bag for up to 3 months.
Thaw frozen brownies in the fridge overnight.
After grating the zucchini make sure to squeeze out any excess water before folding into the brownie mixture.
I find it easier to use room temperature nut butter, so if you have a fresh jar that usually works better...
Or you could warm it on the stove top to make it creamier if you have it refrigerated.
