Zucchini Brownies

Here is a sneaky way to get the kids to eat veggies, and a way to use up all of that extra zucchini. My four year old loved these.

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 shredded zucchini
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (we left this out)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. In a large bowl, mix together the oil, sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, 1/2 cup cocoa, baking soda and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Fold in the zucchini and walnuts. Spread evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minute in the preheated oven, until brownies spring back when gently touched.

Frosting
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup margarine
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Melt together the cocoa and margarine; set aside to cool. In a medium bowl, blend together the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla. Stir in the cocoa mixture. Spread over cooled brownies before cutting into squares.
