Ingredients
Fudgy Zucchini Brownies
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 1/4 cup Sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- 1 Egg
- 2 cups Flour
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa
- 1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 cups Shredded Zucchini
Whipped Chocolate Frosting
- 6 Tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa
- 1/4 cup Butter, room temperature
- 2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 C). Grease and flour a 9×13 baking pan. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the vegetable oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla until well combined. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well mixed. Fold in the zucchini. Spread into the baking pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the brownies spring back when gently touched.
For the frosting, in a bowl, whip together the cocoa and butter. Beat in the powdered sugar, and slowly add in the milk and vanilla. Beat the entire bowl together until the chocolate frosting is light and fluffy – about 3-4 minutes. Spread onto completely cooled brownies. Slice and serve.
