Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 x 8 baking dish with some parchment paper then spray with cooking spray.
- Make the brownies by combining the oil, chocolate chips, and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk or stir often, until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the sugar until combined.
- Add the whole egg and additional egg yolk, one at a time, whisking in between each addition.
- Add the vanilla extract and whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Add the squeezed-out shredded zucchini and mix until well combined.
- Combine the flour, salt, and baking soda in a bowl; mix well.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the zucchini mixture until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spread batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and bake for 27-30 minutes, or until a wooden tester inserted in the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
- Make the frosting while the brownies are baking by combining the butter, chocolate chips, milk, and cocoa powder together in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Cook, stirring often until the chocolate chips melt then immediately remove them from the heat. Side Note: Don't overcook the chocolate or it will seize and not be spreadable.
- Whisk in the vanilla and the powdered sugar, until combined and smooth. It will be thick.
- When the brownies come out of the oven, pour the frosting on and spread it evenly over the top. Cool for 10-15 minutes, then lift the brownies from the pan, slice, and serve.
- Store remaining brownies (if there are any!) covered in the refrigerator. Enjoy.
