    Has anyone tried using a 9×9 pan? I haven’t tried the 9×13 yet because in the pictures the bars look a little thin. But . . . they look so yummy I may just try the larger pan anyway!

      If you do try using a smaller pan, I would turn the heat down to 325° so the edges don’t burn before the middle cooks through.

    It was so yummy! I accidentally put 2 cups of zucchini instead of 1 1/2 cups, it was still delicious. My husband and I loved it. Yummy! 😋

      Glad to hear it was still good with the extra zucchini. That made it more healthy, so that’s a bonus! 😉

    I made these for my boyfriend to take to work. I didn’t drain the zucchini. It turned out well. It’s perhaps a bit too sweet for my preferences, but everyone else liked it. I may try cutting back on the brown sugar next time. They smelled amazing while baking. Probably pairs well with vanilla ice cream.

      Yes, the butterscotch chips do make them sweet, so you could try cutting back a bit on the brown sugar. Just keep in mind that it will also change the texture. And yes, they are fantastic warm with vanilla ice cream!

    Going to try this recipe today. I am going to substitute the zucchini with my yellow squash, as I heard you could do that in some recipes. Hope they turn out!

      Yes, I’ve often swapped out yellow squash for zucchini in baking recipes, and it works great! Hope you had success!

    Very good I made it gluten and dairy free. 1and 1/2 cups almond flour and 1/2 cup brown rice flour. Added an extra egg and 1/2 tsp xanthan gum. Used dairy free chocolate chips and cashew butter

    Think they would be great with cinnamon chips vice butterscotch. Anyone try that?

    I only had a cup of zucchini once I squeezed and measured it, so I estimated 2/3 to 3/4 of all the other ingredients (except the egg) and it could not have come out better! I used a slightly smaller pan but not a 9×9.
    Husband and picky kids LOVED it. Rich gooey and cakey. Cinnamon flavour and butterscotch complimented each other better than I expected. Wouldn’t change a thing. We couldn’t tell there was zucchini in it but it was perfectly moist. Thanks! (30 minutes exactly- a toothpick inserted 2-3 inches from the edge came out almost clean. Corners and edges were a little darker golden than the centre. Measured flour with a spoon.)

    Do you drain the zucchini

      I don’t usually have to drain my zucchini, but if yours is really juicy, you could squeeze out some of the liquid. Even with the extra liquid they still taste good, they are just more cake like in texture.

    My husband isn’t a big fan of butterscotch… sadly. Would peanut butter chips work well do you think? Or any other type?

      Yes, I think they would still be tasty with another flavor of chips. 🙂

      Without being there, it’s hard for me to say exactly what went wrong. I do know that ovens vary greatly, so I’ve learned to go by doneness rather than baking time. Sorry they didn’t turn out for you. 🙁

    I am curious what your batter looks like. I too ended up with a more cake-like bar. The taste is so yummy though!

      My batter was in between cookie dough and brownie batter. If your bars were cake-like, it was probably just that your zucchini was more juicy than mine was. Glad they still tasted good!

      I haven’t, but I think it would work as long as you squeeze the excess water from the zucchini. 🙂

    These were a big hit in my house. I love the gooey texture — but full disclosure — I used more than the one cup of chips:) I would even experiment using whole wheat flour, any nuts, etc. next time. Easy and tasty — my kind of recipe. Thank you.

    I made these and they were like a cake. I had to cook them for 10 minutes longer than what the recipe said. I would recommend drying and draining the zucchini as much as possible.

      If they turned out cake-like, your zucchini must have been more juicy than mine. Glad you still loved them!

    Made these just like the recipe said and they turned out like coffee cake not at all like blondies or the picture. They are good but not at all what I was hoping for.
