Zucchini Brownies

Servings 16 brownies

Ingredients

For the Brownies
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar 
  • ½ cup vegetable oil 
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 
  • tsp baking soda
  • tsp salt
  • 3 cups shredded zucchini (don’t squeeze out moisture), about 1 ½ zucchinis
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 
For the Frosting
  • cups powdered sugar 
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted 
  • 2 tbsp milk warm 

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. 
  • Line an 8x8 baking pan line with parchment paper, creating a sling. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, and vanilla. 
  • Add the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt, and stir with a spatula. (The batter will be dry.) 
  • Fold in the zucchini until thoroughly combined and the batter loosens. Stir in chocolate chips. 
  • Press the batter into an even layer in the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. **Note the top of the brownies might crack while baking, but due to the thickness of the brownies, they will still be very moist. 
  • Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Remove and then frost. 
For the Frosting
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. 
  • Add the milk and melted butter and whisk until smooth.
  • Spread the frosting over the top of the cooled brownies. 
  • Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes to set up before slicing.
