Zucchini Brownies

Today I made some super yummy brownies!!!
When I found this recipe I did not think I would like it because I really do not like chocolate cake.  I even scrape the frosting off of the cake and eat just the frosting.  That is how much I do not like chocolate cake...
But I can't seem to get enough of these.  OK, I can eat two pieces max without having chocolate overload.  But then I come back later for more. lol
I almost forgot to mention the best part.  Well maybe not the best, but a good part.
IT'S EGG FREE!!!

Doesn't it just look so moist and chocolatey???
I got this recipe off of www.allrecipes.com.  Originally posted from someone named Marian.  I wish I would have come up with this recipe but nope.  So, I had better give credit where credit is due...

Zucchini Brownies

 Ingredients
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cup 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 ( I use one medium size zucchini)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts ( Optional- I left this out because I do not care for them)

6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup margarine
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).  Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.  I found a glass pan works the best.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the oil, sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla until well blended.  Combine the four, 1/2 cup cocoa, baking soda, and salt;  stir into the sugar mixture.  Fold in the zucchini and walnuts (optional).  Spread evenly into the prepared pan. 
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven, until brownies spring back when gently touched.  I insert a cake tester in the center to see if it comes out clean.  To make the frosting, melt together the 6 tablespoons of cocoa and margarine; set aside to cool.  In a medium bowl, blend together the confectioners' sugar, milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Stir in the cocoa mixture.  Spread over cooled brownies before serving.
Though I am not promoting the site that I got this recipe from I do recommend it to anyone who has a few minutes to browse.  I have found so many good recipes off there...
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do...
