Frosted Zucchini Brownies

Frosted Zucchini Brownies

½ cup vegetable oil

1 ½ cups white sugar

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all purpose flour

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups zucchini (shredded)

--Chocolate Frosting--

6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 c margarine
2 cups powdered sugar
 a few tablespoons of milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
for the brownies add dry ingredients mix and set aside, add oil sugar , and vanilla and mix then slowly add dry mixture, then fold in the zucchini and put in a greased and floured 9x13 sheet, this will be very crumbly and dry (the zucchini adds the moisture as it cooks) so just kind of smoosh the batter into the pan evenly.
bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, then let it cool as you make the frosting.

to make the frosting add all ingredients together EXCEPT milk, then a little at a time add milk the more you add the thinner the frosting.  If you want it to have the lemon flavor like it did last night then add a few drops of lemon extract to the frosting then keep mixing it up.
once brownies have cooled then you can frost them. WARNING:  THE BROWNIES ARE NOT YUMMY FRESH OUT OF THE OVEN, THEY STILL NEED SOME TIME TO LET THE ZUCCHINIS GIVE OFF ENOUGH MOISTURE FOR THE BROWNIES TO BE GOOD BUT IF YOU LET THEM SIT A FEW HOURS THEN THEY ARE YUMMY. I only warn you because the first time I made them I had one right after they came out and I was so sad that they where so dry and not yummy at all, but like 1 hour later I let Joe try them telling him they where not that good and he said they where great I tried them again and they where yummy, weird but true.
