Zucchini Brownies

I made zucchini brownies for the first time today and they were heavenly!  They turned out very moist and the homemade frosting is great!  Here's the recipe:

Brownies:

1/2 c. vegetable oil

1 1/2 c. white sugar

2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 c. all-purpose flour

1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

2 c. shredded zucchini

1/2 chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour a 9 x 12 inch baking pan (Pam baking spray works just fine).

In a large bowl, mix together the oil, sugar and vanilla until well blended.  Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt ;  stir into the sugar mixture.  Fold in the zucchini and the walnuts.  Spread evenly into prepared pan and bake 25-30 minutes until brownies spring back when gently touched.


Frosting:

6 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 c. margarine

2 c. confectioners sugar

1/4 c. milk

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Melt together the cocoa and the margarine;  set aside to cool.  In a medium bowl, blend together confectioners sugar, milk and vanilla.  Stir in cocoa mixture.  Spread over cooled brownies before cutting into squares.
