These frosted zucchini brownies are moist and chocolaty. This recipe was my mother-in-law?s who passed away 10 years ago. The first time I made it, my husband and I cried when he said, ?This is my mom!? So to honor this special woman (whose five food groups were chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cake, brownies, chocolate candy, and chocolate ice cream), I give you the ultimate brownie recipe!
Ingredients
Frosting
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Brownies
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 ½ cups canola oil
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups grated zucchini
- 1 cup chopped nuts
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a rimmed baking sheet.
Step 2
Make the brownies: Whisk sugar, oil, and eggs together in a bowl. Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients, then stir in vanilla. Fold in zucchini and nuts. Pour batter onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, make the frosting: Stir cocoa powder and melted butter together in a bowl. Stir in confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Step 5
Spread frosting over cooled brownies.
Tips
Depending on the size of your brownies, you might have more bars. My husband's mom was very generous with her portions.
