15 Creative Zucchini Recipes That are NOT Bread

From moist muffins to flavorful & fresh dinner ideas to pies & tarts, put that overabundance of garden zucchini to good use with these 15 Creative Zucchini Recipes That are NOT Bread...

I don't know about you all, but my Facebook feed has been filled with friends & family posting pics of their very generous bounties from their home gardens lately. And these homegrown bounties almost always include a ridiculous amount of zucchini with an offer that they also happen to be free to good homes. ;) Now I like a good, garden grown zucchini as much as the next girl, but you can only bake so many loaves of zucchini bread in a month- am I right?

That is why I made it my mission to go out & search for some of the most creative zucchini recipes out there from a few of my favorite food bloggers. My only requirement? No bread recipes. In fact, I went looking for zucchini recipes that were anything but bread recipes.

I gathered up 15 of the most unique & creative zucchini recipes I could find. Everything from moist muffins to flavorful & fresh dinner ideas to pies & tarts. 

So forget the zucchini bread this week, and try one of these tasty zucchini recipes instead...

3 Ingredient Zucchini Brownies

These incredibly moist 3 Ingredient Zucchini Brownies are so easy to make, plus they have bonus hidden veggies... 

A visit to any local farmers' market or perhaps even to your own backyard garden will reveal that one thing is certain- zucchini season is definitely here and they are plentiful! :)

While I didn't plant any zucchini myself this year, I can attest that they can be pertained at both the farmers' markets and grocery stores for pretty darn cheap right now.  And cheap is always good. ;)

But let's be honest- you can only make SO many loaves of zucchini bread and batches of zoodles (have you all seen these??) before you are zucchini'ed out. 

So let's make something chocolaty, fudgy, and deceptively decadent with them instead, shall we?

These super simple and easy zucchini brownies were inspired by my friend Jellibean Journals' recipe for Life-Changing Skinny Avocado Brownies.  Both recipes have just 3 simple ingredients, but have only one ingredient in common- the boxed brownie mix! 

But both variations are delicious, fudgy, and are a fun  & easy way to sneak more veggies into your family's diet... ;)
