Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Line a 13x9 baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
- For the brownies, in a large bowl, combine oil, sugars, and vanilla extract. Add in flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Stir together until well blended. The batter will be very dry, it's okay!!
- Fold in shredded zucchini. Depending on the moisture of your zucchini, your batter may still be slightly dry. Let batter sit 10 minutes before pouring into baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked. Remove and cool completely before frosting.
- For the frosting, combine the melted butter with cocoa powder in a small bowl with a whisk. Add in powdered sugar, heavy cream and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Spread over cooled brownies. Cut into bars and enjoy!!
Notes
- Let the batter rest. The brownie batter will look very dry when it first comes together. This is normal. Let it sit for 10 minutes before pouring it to the baking dish. The moisture from the zucchini will release into the batter as it rests. Trust me!
- Cut brownies with a clean plastic knife. The plastic knife makes perfectly even cuts--no crumbling! Be sure to let the brownies cool completely before cutting them!
- Store tightly covered. At room temperature, these chocolate zucchini brownies stay good for 4 -5 days.
- Additions: Add some chocolate chips or walnuts pieces to the batter before baking for a delicious dreamy brownie.
- Try our chocolate chip frosted zucchini brownies for a delicious twist!
