2 cups zucchini (I use one regular sized zucchini)
½ cup oil
2 tsp. vanilla
1½ cups sugar
2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1½ tsp baking soda
½ cup cocoa
Chocolate Frosting
6 Tbsp. cocoa
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp. margarine or shortening
¼ cup milk
2 cups powdered sugar
dash of salt
½ tsp. vanilla
Instructions
Puree zucchini, oil, and vanilla in blender.
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. I don’t use chopped nuts, but if you like them in your brownies, then add ½ cup to 1 cup.
Mix zucchini mixture into dry ingredients with a spatula until well blended. Do not beat!
Pour into a greased 9x13 pan and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. The brownies will be cake-like, so test them like you would a cake.
Allow brownies to cool for about 20 minutes or so before frosting.
For frosting: Soften butter and margarine in microwave until it is very soft. Combine all ingredients with a mixer until smooth. Frost brownies and enjoy!
