Ingredients
For Brownies:
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup dark cocoa powder This Hershey's one works great
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 cups finely grated zucchini un-drained
- 2 large eggs
For Chocolate Frosting:
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and dark chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, sour cream, and grated zucchini to the eggs and mix well.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter will be dry initially.
- Let the batter sit for 5 minutes, allowing the zucchini to release moisture. After 5 minutes, mix the batter again; it should now be wetter due to the released liquid from the zucchini.
- Pour the batter into the prepared 9x9-inch baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
- While the brownies are cooling, prepare the chocolate frosting. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, cocoa powder, milk, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
- Once the brownies are cooled, spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the top.
- Allow the frosting to set before cutting the brownies into squares and serving.
