Zucchini Brownies
It's that time of year when everyone is trying to find new ways to use up zucchini from their garden! Luckily I am taking advantage of all the surplus since we don't have a garden this year. I've previously posted chocolate zucchini muffins, and everyone knows about zucchini bread but this time I tried something new- zucchini brownies. I promise can't taste the green stuff...it just makes them super moist. They're also actually quite light and fluffy and a great evening treat! So go on, try this new goody with the excess zucc's you've got sitting on your counter!
ZUCCHINI BROWNIES
What you need for the brownies:
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups zucchini, grated and drained (I used a paper towel to help dry it out)
To make the brownies:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease and flour a 9x13 baking pan.
3. In a large bowl mix together the oil, sugar and vanilla extract.
4. In another bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
5. Mix the dry ingredients into the oil mixture until combined (it might still seem a bit dry). Then fold in the zucchini- this will moisten the mixture.
6. Spread your batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until brownies spring back a bit when you touch them.
ENJOY!
