Instructions
Brownies
- Shred the zucchini into a liquid measuring cup until you reach 2 cups. Then press down the zucchini as much as it will go and pour out any juice that forms.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper and then spray that with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the vegetable oil, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Mix with a hand mixer for 2 minutes on high.
- Add in the vanilla extract and egg. Beat until incorporated.
- Add in the shredded zucchini and stir until combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour and baking soda. Then dump the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir to combine.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared 9x13 pan.
- Place into the preheated oven and bake for 38 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Frosting
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the butter, cocoa powder and chocolat extract. Mix with a hand mixer until incorporated.
- Add in the milk and powdered sugar and beat on low. Once the powdered sugar is mostly incorporated, turn mixer on high and let it beat for an additional 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Spread the chocolate frosting onto the cooled brownies. Cut and serve.
Notes
- To cut my brownies, I refrigerated my brownies with the frosting overnight.
