Calories: 307kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1½ cups white sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups shredded zucchini
Frosting
- 6 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, mix together the oil, sugar, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, 1/2 cup cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Fold in the zucchini. If really dry allow to sit for a few minutes so the zucchini releases some moisture. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until brownies spring back when gently touched.
- Make frosting while the brownies cool. Melt together the 6 tablespoons of cocoa and butter; set aside to cool.
- Blend together the powdered sugar, milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Stir in the cocoa mixture. Spread over cooled brownies before cutting into squares.
