Zucchini... What to do with too much zucchini

I have a zucchini plant this year and can't figure what else to use it for. I have chopped it up for spaghetti but my family is completely sick of it. Not many recipies turn out well with the egg replacer but my wonderful sister gave me this recipe for her "Sneaky Zucchini Brownies". They are sneaky because not only do you add zucchini, but carrots give an added vegetable serving and you can't even taste them (try spinach as well, it also turns out good).

JEMMA'S SNEAKY ZUCCHINI BROWNIES

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup white sugar
2 egg equilevant of any egg replacer (I use EnerG Egg Replacer)
2 cups grated zucchini
1/3 cup steamed and mashed carrots (I use the little individual packs of diced carrots that you buy in a 4 pack and just mash them with a fork)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.

In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, salt, soda, cocoa, and sugar. Combine zucchini, oil, and vanilla; blend into dry ingredients; add the prepared egg replacer last and mix well. Stir in walnuts.

Bake for 20 minutes in preheated oven. Cool in the pan, and then cut into bars.
