Categories Chocolate Dessert Bake Kid-Friendly Vegan

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

BROWNIES:
2 C. grated zucchini
1/2 C. vegetable oil
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 C. flour
1 1/4 C. sugar
1/2 C. cocoa
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
up to 1 C. coarsely chopped nuts and/or chocolate chips
FROSTING
6 T. cocoa
4 T. butter
2 C. powdered sugar
dash salt
1/4 C. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Steps:

BROWNIES: Stir zucchini, oil, and vanilla together. Mix dry ingredients together. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients (it will be very thick. Don't give up.) Add nuts and/or chocolate. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees in a 9"x 13"pan. Cool slightly before frosting. FROSTING: Melt butter with cocoa, whisk in remaining ingredients until smooth. Cool slightly before spreading over brownies in pan. Finish cooling before cutting.

Tips:

Prep Zucchini Properly: Grate zucchini finely and drain excess moisture using a cheesecloth or paper towels. This prevents watery brownies.
Measure Flour Accurately: Use a kitchen scale to measure flour for precise results. Alternatively, fluff flour with a spoon before spooning it into a measuring cup.
Don't Overmix: Overmixing can result in dense brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use Room Temperature Ingredients: This ensures even mixing and a smooth batter.
Don't Overbake: Start checking for doneness a few minutes before the recommended baking time. Toothpick inserted in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Let Brownies Cool Completely: This allows them to set and develop their fudgy texture.
