1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line 9-inch-square baking pan with foil or parchment paper. COMBINE flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in bowl. Melt ¾ cup morsels in large, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) power for 1 minute; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. Stir in oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg whites and vanilla extract. Stir in flour mixture; fold in zucchini. Spread into prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup morsels over top. Bake for 30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out slightly sticky. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Lift brownies from pan; cut into 16 squares. Store in airtight container for up to 5 days.

2-3 green onions, finely chopped
2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk

In large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper. Add 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese and 6 tbsp. of Parmesan cheese; also add zucchini and green onion. Mix. In medium bowl, beat eggs with fork; stir in milk and oil. Add egg mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened (batter will be very thick).
