I added an extra cup of zucchini and substituted 1 cup of the white sugar for 1 cup of brown. I only used a total of 2 cups of sugar and could have used less with good results. Either way, this is a great recipe! I've made it with yellow squash, too, and it's also yummy.

I've made these twice. The first time, I added 2 eggs and didn't make the frosting. They were gross. The second time, I made them exactly as written, made the frosting, and DID NOT add egg. They were AWESOME!!!!!! Excellent way to use up zucchini, do NOT squeeze the shreds dry! I can't even see them in the brownies, they just dissolve and they're incredibly fudgy and moist and just great!

I made this as-written and thought they were wonderful! Much better than the prepackaged bagels at the grocery. I tried various toppings, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion flakes, chives, and garlic powder. All were great! I used my Kitchen Aid Artisan stand mixer. If you try this recipe with the same mixer, you'll have to divide your dough ball in half and mix them separately. It's just a little too much for this model of Kitchen Aid to handle. Also, steam baking does not mean you spritz water on the bagels while they're in the oven. It means you place a separate baking dish under the sheet with the bagels and fill it with boiling water from the tea kettle. Then you let the bagels bake with the water pan underneath them.
